    If that allergy thing was legit, it cost him a championship indeed.Would've given Dokes a heck of a fight, possibly beating him.

    He hit pretty hard. He basically kod Marvis Frazier in the 2nd round but referee Joey Curtis stepped in when Marvis was defenseless and issued a standing 8 count and gave him a reprieve. He decked Carl Williams twice in the first round. In both fights he did not aggressively follow up the advantage.

    After Witherspoon, Tillis was pretty much done as a contender, so anything after that wasn't necessarily his best.

    I think he fell into the mold of build-up opponent after a while.

    " Quick " slowed down, got caught a lot, and stopped a lot.
