The Lost Generation Of 80's Heavyweight's vs The Heavyweights Of Today.

[The Fightfan]

I do love Tim. He is simply the man. A great guy,funny, and he does know his boxing. Pinning Wlad against Witherspoon I would have to go with Wlad. People do forget Tim had some very bad fight's as well and most of all the shocker which was James Bonecrusher Smith. Who knocked him down three times in the first round. Wlad is ten times the better fighter Bonecrusher was and Pinklon Thomas was. Both of these men beat Tim in his prime. I would have to give Wlad the win.

Does anyone else think that Witherspoon v Smith fight wasnt what it seemed? At the time i thought he was just caught cold, but reading and watching things years later about his plight with Don King and the vice-like grip he had on fighters, a cynic might suggest TW may have,lets say, not been as well-prepared as he could of been.
The 80s heavyweights as a whole were every bit as bad as what there is now. Probably the worst ever collectively. Even their names didnt sound like fighters names.Its like asking who was the best actor between Seagal and VanDamme.(and no,i dont mean george)
