Tim Whitherspoon, Tony Tubbs, Greg Page, Dokes and Pinklon Thomas were many things in 86... but 'conditioned' was not one of them!

#1 Tim Whitherspoon, Could of... should of... might of..., but didn't. Drugs and a lack of discipline saw to that.

#2 Larry Holmes, getting ready for the Spinks rematch, but already arguable as much as eight years past his best.

#3 Trevor Berbick, deserves kudos for making the most of the little he had, the 1986 version of Johnny Ruiz.

#4 Frank Bruno, great conditioned fight, heavy handed, but seriously lacking natural ability.

#5 Pinklon Thomas, supposedly the next big thing, until he lost to the poor Berbick, drugs ruined any chances he had.

#6 Mike Weaver, ancient Hercules had just beaten the streaking Carl Williams, but was a couple days away from getting flattened by Bonecrusher.

#7 James Douglas, great abilities, when he could be bothered to train and motivate himself, which was rarely.

#8 Tony Tucker, had the size and boxing ability to be superb, but once again drugs came into play.

#9 Tyrell Biggs, he may of only been 8-0, but he looked for real...shame he wasn't!

#10 Marvis Frazier well I did say the 86's Heavyweights sucked!

That top 10 is just as weak, as it is today IMO.
