Witherspoon was an excellent technician for a Heavyweight - good balance, sharp jab, looping powerful overhand right, solid bodypunching and a smart switch to the cross-arm guard. Very underrated.

Absolutely. He was really talented, no doubt about that. However i'm little bit suprised to see Mercer landing so many left jabs, especially with Tim 's excellent defense. I can somehow understand why they give the fight to Ray even if i personnaly think Tim deserved the decision.

Witherspoon, Dokes, Mercer, Razor Ruddock, Buster Douglas, Tommy Morrison, Foreman, Holmes, Moorer, Oliver McCall etc. were considered second tier heavyweights in the 80s and 90s. Some young some old, some former champions others never won a belt. All were dangerous none the less and in today's heavyweight class would have an easy time with very few exceptions I think. There is a serious lack of these kind of legitimate contenders in today's heavyweight division.

Frank Bruno, Tony Tucker, Trever Berbick, Greg Page, James (Quick) Tillis, Mike Weaver, Mitch (Blood) Green, Tony Tubbs, James (Bonecrusher) Smith and even Michael Spinks gets an honorable mention even though he wasn't a true heavyweight. None of them were great, but they were good or at the very least dangerous opponents against anybody and some of them won championship fights. The heavyweight division is so watered down now and has been for so long. Only a couple guys at the very top are watchable in my opinion.

This one of those fights where the rounds were close, but the scorecards were deceptively wide to me. I had it 96 to 93. Mercer won more close rounds by forcing Witherspoon back and landing more jabs to set up his right cross and right uppercuts. A few rounds could have gone either way. Closer fight than the scorecards indicated. A couple of rounds looked just about even with Witherspoon winning early rounds and not being active enough late. Mercer turned it around by throwing and landing more jabs in the late rounds. He was also more active in the late rounds.

Terrible scoring! I had it a draw, though if I was pushed to give a winner, it'd be Witherspoon. But 97-91, 97-93? Atrocious... George Foreman isn't giving much credit to Witherspoon either. He says at 36:55 that Mercer had been doing the better work all night, yet Witherspoon was ahead! What was he watching? He did the same when Witherspoon beat up Gonzalez. Don't know what his beef is with him.

Tyson never fought Witherspoon because WITHSPOON kept losing to the men Tyson beat. Lol .... .. Witherspoon lost to PINKLON THOMAS, LARRY HOLMES, GOLOTA and was destroyed by BONECRUSHER. TYSON destroyed THOMAS, HOLMES, GOLOTA and beat BONECRISHER by decision

in early nineties top heavyweight fighters were almost all coming from usa, they were pinklon thomas, bone crusher smith, tim wltherspoon, ray mercer, olliver mccall, hasim rahman, buster douglas, mike tyson, holifield, michael moorer and riddick bowe, so rivalry then in heavyweight were so close, with one exception the british lennox lewis, now in the us only deontay wilder and luiz "kingkong" ortiz, the british are anthony joshua and tyson fury

Terrible decision. Tim witherspoon wom hands down. These judges don't now how to judge a fight. They need to have their licenses revoked. Can you hear REMATCH, i do. What a travesty. PS. George Foreman is one of the worst commentators boxings ever had. What a black eye on boxing. Pshhh
