    Was Charles skilled enough to overcome the size difference? Could he box circles around Terrible Tim or does Tim clean his clock?

    If Tim Witherspoon was in the edition against Holmes, or in his championship editions, Charles would not be skilled enough to overcome the size difference.

    Is his championship edition like a collectors edition?

    Tim beats him over the distance.

    I went with Charles by decision. From 1944 to 1950 he was one of the greatest fighters of all time. The Charles who got knocked out by Walcott onward would probably lose to Witherspoon in some way or another
