    Good to see ya! Witherspoon probably never performed to this level again, which is a shame.

    Could you expand on that Holme's Jab?
    On the face of it a fighter going the distance with Tyson and Lennox Lewis and KO'ing Buster Douglas,is at least "above average".
    Is there anything you see in the videos of Tony Tucker,that make you think that he was pretty run of the mill. In regards to conditioning,possessing decent fundamentals or a solid punch,I can't see much wrong with him.

    See and I thought Tony Tucker was a much better fighter than Witherspoon

    Good to see you too, my friend.

    One more thing, the worst thing about the Holmes/Spoon fight was Angelo Dundee's commentating. Just abysmal work.

    I think Tim would be motivated enough to give Larry a good tussle again, but it probably wouldn't be enough to win.115-113 win for Larry in a 12 rounder, 144-141 win for Larry if it's a 15 rounder.
