    Really, which heavyweights did he spar with. I heard spinks sparred with both witherspoon and greg page and both got the best pf him. He also blantantly dodged tony tucker.

    I dont know but Tommy Hearns used to beat the snot out of Tony Tucker in sparring.

    Tim Witherspoon was also knocked out by a middleweight in sparring.

    Which Middleweight did witherspoon lose to in sparring, this is interesting could you tell more about how sparring results from that era. Did michael moorer ever spar with hearns?

    Proof of the pudding please, and also the exact time of Witherspoon's career it came at.

    This was probably a drugged out Tucker, there's no way Hearns takes Tucker in a decent match.

    Probably is. I've realised he's now full of **** with his "Patterson was ahead" post. He's posted this about eight times and each time he's been told he's wrong.


    Hmm, I don't know, small man syndrome and all that. :yep

    Well i saw that Patterson stuff today, i full well remember you clearing the matter up once and for all, or so i thought. It was good to see Chris nip it right in the bud tho. I'm 90% sure he got the Tucker story from me, as i posted some Emmanuel Steward interview banter here ages back. ES would be perfectly impartial of course :lol:

    This middleweight claim tho, i'm pretty well heard and read from the era and i can't say i've come across it.

    Monzon, probably has the better chance of the two. However I can't really envisage either winning tbh.

    Neither, both would get bad results if they moved up, and a slip in reputation.
