Great fight - I remember Tyson KOing Tubbs as a kid and thinking, at the time, that he was just a stiff to beat...but Tubbs was a talented big man and had super fast hands for his size.
Tubbs was a deceptively quick for a man his size. In the Tyson fight, just before he was ko,ed, he whipped in a cobra-like left uppercut to the body that Tyson didn’t even see to react in dodging the punch.
Tubbs was a skilled fighter and he was still effective over 20 years into his career. Amazing guy for sure! Tim Witherspoon was a good fighter as well, he didnt maintain the longevity of Tubbs, but in his day could put on a show against the best the world had to offer.
Def all time great!!! And shit back then noone was making money boxing if u ait go thru Don king!! If Tim was around now he would be smoking these new hvw8s
To see the shots he took here. Really says something about tyson power stoping him with jus a few punches. I kno his heart wasnt really in the tyson fight like it was here. But it was for a title, you kno he tried
The 80’s should have been on the level of the 70’s. Super talented but they were out of shape and usually on drugs. There’s a reason they became known as “the lost generation”.

Man, I feel for Tim Witherspoon. Had he not met 💩 King? He could have been an all time great
Tim IS an all-time great! Two-time heavyweight champion of the 🌎! Too bad he met Don King though, yes.

Incredible action!!
Witherspoon was extremely tough.

Tubbs had very good skills
They only considered "BUMS" when they go up against MIKE TYSON.
But against every other HEAVYWEIGHT, they are considered "TOUGH FIGHTERS" !!!! LOL
