Comments Thread For: Video: Tim Witherspoon Reacts To Tyson Fury's Knockout of Deontay Wilder

[Butt stuff]

Bit unfair to compare a couple of boxers to SRL, who was one of the best boxers ever to have laced them up, not just a generational talent but an ATG.

If everyone could do what SRL could do, don’t you think we’d be seeing it?

I'm surprised Tim hasn't chimed in on this thread. He popped up on another thread recently.

Really? Link it up please.

'Ok here is a question for people who actually know boxing history have watched boxing before the Mayweather and hearn years……would fury have beaten Tim Witherspoon? Mike Weaver? Tony Tubbs? Pinklon Thomas? Bonecrusher Smith? Michael Dokes? John Tate? Gerry Coetzee? Tex Cobb? Gerry Cooney? Larry Holmes? How would Fury have faired in the “champions for a day” era?'

Because he is just so big any of those guys would've had their work cut out just to be competitive. I think Tyson would start favourite against any of them. However, I could envisage Tubbs or Dokes outboxing & outmoving Fury. In both cases it would depend on their being in shape & motivated. They were both good fighters when on. I could envisage Holmes or Witherspoon being too smart for Tyson early on, then inveigling him into a brawl, tying him up on the ropes, then making their experience tell over the championship rounds (assuming it was going to 15, which I'm sure Tim & Larry would have preferred). The other 7 you named, no chance at all.

I have no idea why people keep responding to Nash. He says things for attention and you guys just give it to him. He always does this. I wouldn't be shocked if he says Commey could beat Duran and Armstrong at 135. It's his thing to get you guys upset.

''Wasn't impressed with the skills. It was sloppy.....''

Exactly. Nuff said. Spoon should come back and prove just how shltty the HW is

The Can-opener Punch that Spoon threw was kinda Sloppy also, But not as Bad as Wilder
