    How would Witherspoon do vs the light heavyweight champion? Moore took on and beat larger sized heavies like Nino Valdez who was the size of Witherspoon.

    Surprised this didn’t get any replies.

    I’d ever so slightly edge towards Witherspoon in a very close fight, Moore would only lose to elite fighters as long as they aren’t too much bigger than him.

    Witherspoon uses his size to close Moore down and outworks him and is able keep Moore honest and outwork him slightly.

    I always favour the better boxer but Witherspoon was really good not on the tier with Moore, not close, few are with respect but he is a lot bigger and hung with HOLMES… I’ll lean to Archie but be totally unsurprised to see Witherspoon chop him up, wish Tim was dealt a better hand in the boxing business everybody says he is a good man, comes off that way too, he could’ve done a bit more he had “it’” in my eyes.
