But odds are Tyson takes Tim out late
That's one fight that I always wanted to see.

Witherspoon's signature punch was the overhand Right: I remember Bonecrusher really hurting Tyson with a huge overhand Right at the very end of their snorefest in '87, but barely anyone noticed because the fight ended.

Tyson was tottering at the end & was probably fortunate that Smith didn't get the chance to follow up, although judging by the way Boneclutcher clung onto Tyson like a limpet, they would have need another 3 fights before Smith attempted a follow up punch.

The main issue would be Witherspoon's discipline, but a properly prepared & fit Terrible is a problem for anybody.
