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

[King Koopa]

"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

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?

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..

vitali klitchsko kills em all including mike tyson.

I don't think Tua fought in the 80's so he doesn't count.
