    Good question.; I think he drops 3 decisions.

    I do not see any of the Tuaman A+ results here. And if we don't get the A+, this guy seems to drop down the ladder to say B-. Such a big drop & thinking that, it is just hard to envision him with his arm being raised at the end.

    I think all three could beat him. Don’t know if all three would.

    Quarry? He couldnt even handle Ellis or Patterson. Lost to Frazier twice. Even Chuvalo took him out. this is a joke, right?

    Dokes would hang in there until exhaustion took over. Tua wins in 8

    Witherspoon is the only one with a decent chance

    Quarry? He couldnt even handle Ellis or Patterson. Lost to Frazier twice. Couldnt get close to Ali in two losing bouts. Even Chuvalo took him out. this is a joke, right?

    Dokes would hang in there until exhaustion took over. Tua wins in 8

    Witherspoon is the only one with a decent chance
