Heavyweights : Tim Witherspoon vs. Michael Dokes

Prime vs prime.Who wins ?

I think Dokes moves and boxes and outpoints Witherspoon.The solid punches Witherspoon lands ,Dokes chin can handle.

Dokes may out-box Spoon, but the Spoon who fought Larry Holmes, Tony Tubbs, the first Greg Page, Renaldo Snipes and James Quick Tillis would cut off the ring and overwhelm the Dynamite with effective jabs and right hands as Spoon take either a decision or a late round stoppage.

Witherspoon would deal with Dokes. Michael would have his moments, but Witherspoon would outfight and probably even stop Dokes.

A lot of people will disagree and thats ok but I think Witherspoon was overrated.

He did have moments but he wasn't special to me.

But same with Dokes.Witherspoon may come motivated and if he does could win.Again,same with Dokes.He had less than spectacular moments.

I remember during this era a lot of chubby Heavyweights.They could still fight but had a little lax training.Page,Tubb,Witherspoon,Broad...
