    Witherspoon of the Greg page fight.
    Jimmy Young of the Foreman fight .
    Tua of the Ruiz ko .
    How's the Round robin pan out ?

    I have Spoon emerging as the victor, with Tua having split and young coming up short.

    In his pomp I like Tim over both of them. With Tua in the other match, being the first fighter to retire with a migraine after spending half a dozen rounds trying to figure out Jimmy!

    Tua loses to Spoon and Young by clear decision.

    Spoon vs Young too close to call.

    Young beats the other two fellas....not saying he'd get the decision though.

    Tua shouldn't really be mention in the same thread as Tim and Jim. At his best and craftiest I see Tim as similar to Jim, but with great power. I'd go with Jimmy though, to crafty.

    This is a tough one to figure out. When Young is involved, it often is. I could see Young losing by split decision to Witherspoon in a fight that could go either way.

    Tua likely loses to the other two. Young was too slick and had too good of a chin to lose to Tua. And just like he did against Lennox Lewis, I think Tua starts to play it too safe after tasting a Witherspoon right hand, and loses a decision.

    Witherspon by decision. He was more of a complete fighter than Tua.
