The Lost 80's Heavyweights.. Pick 1 or 2 that could hang with 2day's Heavyweights..

I think Ruddock could do business today, also Tua if he counts would be ud champ if he were prime today I don't think Tua fought in the 80's so he doesn't count.

Reading an old Tyson book got me thinking about the forgotten Heavyweights of the 80's... If you had to choose one to go up against the Current heavyweights who would your choice be? Now onto the Fighters themselves.. Quick mention Fighters like James "Bonecrusher" Smith Tony Tubbs Plinkon Thomas Tyrell Briggs Mike weaver Greg Page Tim Witherspoon John Tate Gerry Coetzee Tony Tucker Razor Ruddock Any im missing out just add them in your getting the idea though... If half of them were managed right at the time and more disciplined they would of achieved a whole lot more.Specially Witherspoon he was a dangerous fuker he was... He would be one of my picks.. vitali klitchsko kills em all including mike tyson.

Tim Witherspoon and Tony Tucker would probebly have a lot of success in todays division. I can seen Pinkln Thomas and Ruddock having good success too. Those are the two that i would go for I think Ruddock could do business today, also Tua if he counts would be ud champ if he were prime today Tua in the 80's?

"Terrible" Tim Witherspoon Donovan "Razor" Ruddock Mitch "Blood" Green (I wonder what he could've become if he never fought Tyson...) Trevor Berbick Green just tried to ride Tyson''s coattails. I cannot call him a has been because he was a never was. Witherspoon and Ruddock would liven up the heavyweight scene though. Tony Tubbs, Carl "The Truth" Williams and Tommy Morrison would too. The 80's into the 90's actually had a lot of talent. The 80's was somewhat marred with a reputation of many fighters being underachievers, but I think a lot of people just focus on the 84-86 years, where Berbick out hustled Thomas in one of the most boring heavyweight fights in history!LOL

witherspoon for sure could destroy wladimir & beat vitali.he went 15 hard rounds several times,had the big right & good jab.bonecrusher smith reminds me of David izon 1 dimensional but could pull the upset with one big right.tucker I found was too conservative as a fighter he nickel & domed wins out.some could do good but I think tim witherspoon would beat 90% of todays heavyweights.in his best years of course.he was always able to fight 12-15 hard rounds even when he wasn't in peak shape.now days toney & Rahman,tua are the only guys who can have their weight fluctuate & still be a threat.Rahman & tua not as much anymore.tua can't get his punches off & Rahman I like but I think he just doesn't have that fire in his belly anymore.he could fight at 230-260 in his best days.

Tim Witherspoon and Tony Tucker would probebly have a lot of success in todays division. I can seen Pinkln Thomas and Ruddock having good success too.

Mitch Green KO1 Wladimir Klitschko Oh shit i forgot about Green He had a jeri curl to die 4..

Spoon and Pinkie.

As bad as they sucked, they were still better than today's heavyweights. F'in Trevor Berbick could probably beat Wlad, prime for prime. lol do you reckon? Nah i'd have to go with Vlad on that one unless he got lucky

Bonecrusher could probably out Ruiz Ruiz
