    If 10 is someone like Foreman, what do you rank Tim as from a scale of 1-10?

    8.5 of 10

    Spoon could hit very hard. He has scored some highlight reel KOs.

    He was methodical and somewhat lazy in many fights which made him predictable for opponents. But when Spoon landed, he scored some scary KOs (James Tillis, James Broad, Anders Eklund, Jorge Luis González, Darroll Wilson).

    Maybe a 7. Ability to land that shot was about a 4.5 however.
