    Of course Floyd has the better resume but he can't bring it into the ring with him. Who wins?

    Spoon. Too big, too skilled, had excellent defense, could take a good punch and wack as well. Witherspoon is a somewhat overlooked figure in the heavy division in terms of skills and ring Iq.

    Tim could win this, but I have a feeling he is not going to be in top shape, and Floyd outworks him for the UD.

    Tim could be to heavy handed here. I see him stopping Floyd around the sixth.

    Not sure about this one. Certainly it is possible that Tim could KO Floyd. But, if Floyd boxes intelligently, he could win a decision here. Witherspoon could get complacent in there sometimes. And, Floyd would not be so easy to catch.
