    Witherspoon was a handful for sure, and if we're talking Wlad of 2004 or before, I can see Tim getting to him.

    But I just don't see Tim outfoxing the Wlad of the past several years, and I wouldn't give him anything more than a puncher's chance against Wlad.

    And yeah he was durable, but so is Ray Mercer and Wlad got to him. But it's an interesting fight either way. Tim is severely underrated.

    Randall 'Tex' Cobb vs John 'The Quiet Man' Ruiz.....I know I know, boring yes but also fairly even

    Of all the heavyweights to choose, you choose Ruiz!

    I think that this would be a pretty good fight. If Ruiz tried to grab and hold Cobb, Tex would kick him.

    Joe Louis vs absolutely anyone. He was a ring marvel. I've watched hours upon hours of him an he never ceases to amaze. Light by today's standards but I have zero doubt he would have beaten all of them. Outside a bout involving Louis I would pick Tyson vs Ali/prime Larry Holmes, either Klit vs The Rock, cos God only knows what would be like

    Ray Mercer was past his prime though, a prime Tim Witherspoon is a whole different story. Funnily enough Mercer fought Witherspoon when he was past his prime, and Witherspoon basically went dead even with him in an underrated fight.

    Klitschko maybe more defensive but i still question his confidence, when he gets hit by a solid fighter with good power in Witherspoon will he crumble ? Witherspoon has proven he can take shots for the full distance has Klitschko ?

    No matter what anyone tells me about Klitschko, i still think he's an accident waiting to happen. And with Witherspoon's crushing overhand right which is best weapon against taller opponents, i see Witherspoon connecting and Klitschko crumbling under the pressure.

    All 3 are ruled NC when Fury slips on the piss trail he leaves climbing into the ring and is carted off to the hospital.

    Tyson pulls him out of the ambulance and makes him wash and wax his car first
