      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

        I can seen Pinkln Thomas and Ruddock having good success too.

          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.
