He beat the Truth and should have beat Mercer afterwards. Not that gonzalez was much to talk about. But that was a savage whipping. And who could forget the TNF KO of Anders Ecklund?
I guess you could say i was a fan.

I never heard him say that he threw the fight. Anything's possible I guess. It's sort of like Jack Johnson and Sonny Liston. Both fighters could have had reasons to go in the tank.
What's beyond dispute is that Tim Witherspoon never fought up to his potential. He and Pinklon Thomas had the tools to do all kinds of things in the ring, but for one reason or another, opted out of the "spartan-like" lifestyle.
