Let's talk about Terrible Tim.
After a one-round kayo loss to Bonecrusher Smith in 1986, I find it strange Witherspoon never sought after the World Heavyweight title, he was on a consistent top 10 ratings, at least until in 1992 when he dropped a decision to journeyman Bigfoot Martin.
I knew it wouldnt be possible to secure a fight with Mike Tyson, who fought Witherspoon victims, Tony Tubbs, Frank Bruno and Carl Williams (later spoon defeated) because of that lawsuit with Don King, But Witherspoon himself backed off for interesting match ups in the early 90s such as when offered to fight Razor Ruddock, and the bout with Tony Tucker supposedly in China didnt took place (check out Mike Tyson's facebook page when Mike, Tim, and Tucker took pictures together).
The best time he could have secured another title shot was against Bowe in 1993, I think Spoon is far deserving than another ex-champ Michael Dokes, it was too late when Witherspoon decided to faced tough-level opponents again, Jorge Gonzales, Ray Mercer and Andrew Golota.
