    I think this one would have been interesting. I guess it depends on which Morrison shows up. The one that fought AND trained smart for Foreman would have been a serious challenge to Witherspoon. But the one that bones chicks and drinks throughout a half ass training camp most likely gets stopped at some point in this one. Probably similar to the Mercer fight. A really good first 4-5 rounds then bam.

    I will put faith in The Duke that he would realize the challenge he had in front of him for this one and train as hard as he did for Big George and come out with a hard earned UD or late stoppage by not gassing and fighting smart. Tim would have his moments though.

    If Witherspoon is well trained and motivated I’d still pick him even at that point.

    Spoon would weather the early storm and have him out in 8 at the very latest.

    Spoon takes him out about 5 or 6.

    I'll go with Spoon by stoppage aswell, he still had something left at this point. As evident of his brutal KO of Jorge Luis Gonzalez, and almost beating Ray Mercer he should of actually beat Mercer IMO.

    But yeah Witherspoon was durable enough, and had enough power even in 90s to take out The Duke.

    A mid 90's Witherspoon would've knocked Morrison out in the middle rounds.
