This is a really interesting one IMO 'Spoon was a good fighter at tmes...good movement, educated jab I'd say soon is the better or more technical guy, ruddock was more sloppy but Great power with his "smash"
If Witherspoon has his head together and is focused, I think he survives the occasional "smash" and wins a clear cut decision... he's a lot more skillful and clever
I'll take Ruddock by KO here. Tim disappointed me with subpar performances numerous times like vs. Pinklon, Smith and even later fights against Thunder. Ruddock was a fine boxer who just went nuts after a few KO's and forgot about everything but his "smash".
Witherspoon by a wide decision. He's the much better boxer, had a solid chin (the Smith fight with it's odd circumstances notwithstanding) and despite his sometimes soft appearance, had good stamina.
