I recall both of them had awesome overhand rights. But, who's was superior? I give the slight edge to Tim...

Best overhand right.. Tim Witherspoon or Renaldo Snipes?

I'd say Witherspoon, but Snipes was no slouche. I was never a fan of Witherspoon though. I was extremely impressed with the fight that Snipes gave Holmes, he used a great jab to get Holmes abit out of his rythme.
As a stable that had awsome over hand rights I think that no stable compares to that of the Kronk stable. It seemed that every Kronk guy that I fought could rock you with one. Then you watch Hearns, McCrory, McClellan, etc. Well trained fighters out of that gym to say the least.........Rockin'.

Other than the knockdown of Holmes I just don't see anything that impressive about Snipes.Last edited by joseph5620; 06-22-2012, 01:46 PM.

I would have loved to see an in-shape 1986 Witherspoon take on Mike Tyson. He would have been Mike's toughest and most dangerous test.
Snipes fired an occasional big right (Holmes and Berbick), while Tim's was always a huge threat.

I would go with Terrible Tim's right as well. But it is deceving because Tim had alot of other skills and Reynaldo main asset was that right hand.
Note about Snipes-Berbick. A couple fights before it, Snipes fought Scott Frank who had a pretty solid chin. Snipes landed a few big right hands and Frank invited him to do again, still they just bounced off Frank's chin. So two fights later Berbick who had a fairly good chin himself, invited Snipes to do the same and boom! Berbick got knocked down. It was a fight Berbick should have and could have won but he paid for his mistake and ended up losing a very close decision.

Witherspoon's "Can Opener?!!" I didn't know that was the name of it. Well, it destroyed Frank Bruno. It was very devastating. I think it at least rivals Razor Ruddock's "Smash," which was a hybrid left-uppercut/left-hook. Look at the way Tim layed out Anders Ekland...
