Yeah, good McCall by you Coconut. I think I said the same about Corrie Sanders. How the fornicate can someone as utterly shit as Sam Peter be top ten? Woeful.

How the fornicate can someone as utterly shit as Bruno, Witherspoon, Thomas or Douglas be a WBC champion of the world??

Go and look at film of Thomas, Tubbs, Carl Williams, Dokes in their prime. They lacked some intagibles but they were loads better then Brewster, Peter, Brock, Rahman etc.

If anyone wants proof that this silly bastard has absolutely no judgement or idea of what he's talking about, remember the above post.

You can make a case for some of the above not being great but Witherspoon was a fornicating class act.

Douglas although not a great heavyweight, did beat a great champion in one of the biggest upsets in history (at the time) , so he is not shit

Douglas was sublime the night he took out Tyson - on that form he'd have given any heavyweight in history trouble. And Thomas was a class act on his day - a great jab and an iron chin: it took the best string of punches Tyson ever threw to take him out.
And 'Spoon was a danger to anyone when in shape.

These guys would've wiped the floor with todays heavyweight pretenders.
