    I've got Witherspoon stopping Ezzard late here after being behind on the scorecards. Thoughts?

    I think Charles might outfinesse him over 12.

    Is it possible we can match the under 220lbs Witherspoon who, with just 15 fights under his belt gave Larry Holmes a very uncomfortable evening,losing by a very close and debateable decision ,with Charles?
    I'm under the impression that, unless otherwise stated, we are matching prime for prime?
    Of course we could match the Charles who was tossed out for stalling against Dick Richardson with a primeTim ,but that would be as pointless as your comparable matchup wouldn't it?

    ps What's with the headlines? Is there something wrong with your eyes?

    God dammit Morlocks LOOK AT YOU, TOUCHING THE BREED OF GERRY COONEY!

    Thats the reason you left Mor in the first place, isn´t it? Sore inside, mortified and broken, inapt, interpersonally half-arsed to cope with the rejection of Mrs.Cooney. Skulking into Georges machine, setting the instrument on 81, and looking

    Uh, and the font of 2020 cultured humanity is too tiny for Mr. CaveEye, surprise lol. I´d bet on FAT BRIGHT GREEN too, goggling through a regressed pair of shiney red gawkers. Oh man getting off the console booze might help as well....
    ITS NOT GERRYS FAULT GET OVER IT!

    Best of Witherspoon, as mcvey mentioned could be that version that pushed an ATG to the edge. So that spoon against best of Charles, at Heavyweight of course, I'll say Witherspoon by split decision.

    That's a reasonable outcome, though it could happen as early as round 4 or 5, IMHO.
