Top 10 Heavies from best to worst

[-CANE-]

You don't remember Holmes and Berbick? With Larry jumping off the car doing the flying dropkick on Berbick? Classic stuff man. Berbick saying right before "Larry Holmes punched me come over and punched me!"

Tony Tubbs was aptly named. He coulda been much better, just like Buster Mathis before him and Rid**** Bowe after. The dinner table was a killer to the career.

I'd completely forgot about that. I just youtubed it and can vaguely remember seeing it on the news. That's some funny **** more like Wrestling.

Yeah man, Larry went after him with WWF moves. LOL Trevor gave a good account of himself in that fight too.

Tucker did have some ability and had the tools to beat Tyson and he gave Lewis a pretty good fight as well. Could have achieved more but so could a lot of others.

I remember when Tyson had just unified the titles and everyone raved about him and saying he was unbeatable, but I disagreed even back then. I remember also back then that I used to say if anyone could beat Tyson then it was Tim Witherspoon. When fit like against Holmes he was a very good fighter, sort of reminded me of Liston with a little less power. To this day I think he threw the bonecrusher fight. There was something seriously wrong with that fight, to go down 3 times in the 1st round against a man he had already beaten. Maybe he just didn't want a part of Tyson or more likely Don King was involved. Witherspoon had his disagreements with King and maybe King was never going to give him a shot at the title and bought him, I never heard this but it's a theory I have.

The scoring in that Douglas fight has to be the worst I have ever seen and I've seen some robberies but that was criminal, luckily Douglas stopped that from being the worst decision of all time.

Tim Witherspoon sued Don King and won.....but there was a heavy price: King essentially had Witherspoon blackballed and no shot at Tyson would have been forthcoming with King controlling boxing. Later, drugs would finish the job Don King started on Witherspoon's career.

Berbick opened his big mouth about Holmes family if i remember so Holmes whooped his ass thats one of the funniest moments ever in boxing.

I always thought Witherspoon would be something i remember his fight with Holmes i got it on my Holmes career set and i was shocked when i watched it because i see a young Ken Norton in Tim Witherspoon except Witherspoon had better boxing skills i remembered thinking this can't be the same Witherspoon who looked like a beached whale vs Bruno or the same Witherspoon who got blitzed by Bonecrusher i was shocked.

Man hard to believe that happened so long ago.

As I said before another wasted talent and another career screwed up by Don King. Another thing I can't quite remember about Witherspoon and the drugs, can someone remind me when that happened and what was it.

I don't think there were every any confirmations about his drug use. I do know that when he showed up for the Bonecrusher fight he looked awful, thus started the 'Spoon roller coaster. One fact that people usually miss was the Spoon's original opponent for the fight was Tony Tubbs, but Tubbs was replaced several days before with Bonecrusher.

Probably one of Don King's famed switcheroos. However I'm not sure it would have mattered, but I'm almost positive that this event is what touched off the whole Witherspoon/King legal war.

That's interesting my memory is definately not what it used to be. I thought the King/Witherspoon legal wranglings started way before that, but I'm probably wrong.

They may have, I'm far from a Witherspoon expert. But thats the first thing I really remember about their legal battles. Talented guy, shame he wasted it.
