    One night where he put it all together? The version you would use to match him vs greats in a hypothetical h2h matchups.

    His KO of Tillis is impressive when you think he went 10 with Tyson after.

    I don't know Witherspoon's entire career, but a losing effort can be somebody's best performance, especially factoring in the level of competition being Larry Holmes.
