U got a real gift my friend!........ these two would turn this matchup into two black fred astaires on steroids painting a beautiful tapestry of nifty footwork.

Both had fairly short prime career spans....both had relatively fragile chins, although I know Biggs before he was ruined by Tyson and the drugs took over fought manfully when hit hard.....

Im assuming its both at their prime....so Im gonna go with late 87 Biggs (the one who fought Tyson- altho again he was battling drug addiction already and was rushed into this bout with an eye that was still injured from the David Bey fight) and Williams of summer 88 (The one who had beaten Berbick and was waiting for Tyson but hadnt had to endure a lengthy lay off waiting for Mike to deal with his out of ring woes).

The first round starts and both glide off the canvas smoothly, the first 6 rounds would be close but with Biggs 2 rounds ahead, and an exhibition of beautiful boxing would have unfolded with both skillfully jabbing to the head and body...in the 7th a Williams counter uppercut would score a flash knockdown over Biggs and open a cut would over Biggs right eye. Williams would suddenly become more aggressive down the stretch and take the next two rounds, Biggs would rebound in the 10th ....and as the scorecards were tallied the decision would go to Williams by a point!

Great matchup! Would have to give the edge to Williams.

There was an article about him not too long ago posted here -- he's working as a janitor?

Anyone know what Biggs is up to these days?

Williams had the better jab, but Biggs probably the better boxing ability.Edge to Biggs by close unanimous decision.

Biggs didn't have a fragile chin! He took some big shots from Bey and Tyson. He wasn't the same after the dispiriting Tyson loss and never really seemed to give his all in fights after that. I know he also got back on the drugs. He was a good boxer, just didn't have the right mentality for the pro grame.
