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.
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.
