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

[The Gully Gad]

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 ***er he was...

He would be one of my picks..

[BadNewz]

As bad as they ******, they were still better than today's heavyweights. F'in Trevor Berbick could probably beat Wlad, prime for prime.

[KnockoutTheFat]

Bonecrusher could probably out Ruiz Ruiz

[AztecWanker]

Mitch Green KO1 Wladimir Klitschko

Nah i'd have to go with Vlad on that one
unless he got lucky

[Thread Stealer]

Spoon and Pinkie.

[The Gully Gad]

Mitch Green KO1 Wladimir Klitschko

Oh **** i forgot about Green
He had a jeri curl to die 4..

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.

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.

I think Ruddock could do business today, also Tua if he counts would be ud champ if he were prime today
