    Didn't Fury stop someone with a body punch recently?

    Povetkin does OK as well

    Seriously people, Witherspoon would destroy Haye.
    Even a fat sluggish 'spoon would be too much for Haye.

    Witherspoon would easily be among the top 2 if he were around today.

    Spoon would beat them all, including the Klits.

    Timmy said his nephew was the only one who could beat Klitschko. He said Chazz was "at least as good as himself".

    What about the other good fighters who could bang! Cooney, Dokes, Cortzee, Bonecrusher, and Razor Roduck. This is a scary bunch even not all of these fought Holmes and remember Holmes ducked Gred Page and Pinklon Thomas. Holme stayed away ferom the threats at the mid to end of his career.

    Of course he'd say this its his nephew. One only has to watch them box to know who was the better fighter though.

    All clean and focused would be top contenders today. Talent was not a problem in the 80's, dedication and drugs were.

    Witherspoon was very average and inconsistent. Typical 80's Heavyweight. Would win a big fight then lose the next 2.

    You can blame Tims inconsistency on Don King. He was MUCH better than average though showing far more skills than most of today's heavyweights. At his best I'd pick him to beat all but Wlad....and he'd still have a punchers chance there.
