	Definition of Tim Witherspoon
		Witherspoon was matched with Greg Page for the vacant title on March 9, 1984.
		Witherspoon's reign as champion would be among the shortest in Heavyweight history however, as on August 31 of that year he was defeated by Pinklon Thomas via unanimous decision.
		Following his second title reign Witherspoon faded in relative obscurity, but kept fighting through 2003, occasionally for a minor title (such as the World Boxing Organization's Intercontinental title in 2002, or the National Boxing Association's title in 2000).

		Witherspoon was zich namelijk voor Augustus 1982 niet bepaald erg bewust van wat er eigenlijk allemaal om hem heen gebeurde.
		Tim Witherspoon - ongeacht zijn high school diploma - was hierop in het geheel geen uitzondering en jaren later herinnerde Tim zich nog het gevoel van stoerheid en rijkdom welke hij voelde toen hij met die $1,500 in zijn zakken op weg ging naar zijn huis in Philly.
		Het kamp was ook dicht bij zijn huis gesitueerd en het was vooral belangrijk voor Tim dat het ook nog eens geheel gratis voor hem was.

	Tim Witherspoon vs. Ahmad Abdin (May 17, 2002)
		Witherspoon missed with a huge sweeping right hand early in the 4th, and caught two solids counter shots to the head from Abdin, whose offensive output could best be described as conservative.
		Witherspoon began drilling Abdin, 6'3", with a dozen stiff left jabs in the sixth round and there was noticeable swelling and reddening under both of his eyes.
		Witherspoon returned to banging to the body to open the 9th, and Abdin's only counter was to shake his head in dismay.

		Witherspoon is now laboring under the effects of an increasingly swollen right eye and he's going to start eating punches because he just won't be able to see them coming from that side.
		Tim Witherspoon is going to have to either assume a more defensive posture to protect his continually swelling right eye or go on an all-out offensive and try to end the fight before the eye closes completely.
		Tim Witherspoon lurches to his feet at the count of 4 but he stumbles and is down on his knees again.

	“Terrible” Tim Witherspoon To Return July 1st - A Terrible Idea?
		Witherspoon’s having the desire to fight again when nearly fifty years of age is a quite shocking one, to say the least.
		Sure, Tim was a fighter smack bang in the middle of an era known as ‘The lost generation of heavyweights,’ but he was a damn fine fighter in his prime.
		Tim won the vacant WBC belt with a points win over Greg Page (one of only four men to ever stop Tim, in a return match in 1999!) and after losing that title on points to Pinklon Thomas, Tim won the WBA version with a points win over Tony Tubbs.

	Thomas Gerbasi
		And if the name is familiar, it’s because Witherspoon’s second cousin is former heavyweight champion Tim Witherspoon, who could definitely tell the budding heavyweight a thing or two about the pitfalls a fighter needs to avoid outside the ring.
		For Witherspoon, basketball was always his thing, and as a senior at New Jersey’s Paulsboro High School, he averaged 21 points per game (fourth in South Jersey that season) and was flooded with scholarship offers, despite being a 6-3 power forward.
		Ten years is a long time in the fight game, yet for a fighter with Witherspoon’s work ethic, intelligence, and raw ability, it may be all he needs to reach the top of the division and begin a reign that can put to rest the negativity surrounding the sport’s glamour division.

	Boxing: RSR Looks Back at Larry Holmes Vs ‘Terrible’ Tim Witherspoon
		Tim was also blasting a thumping right hand to Holmes body, tenderizing and reddening the area in the process, and critically taking nearly all of the champion’s hectic leather on his gloves.
		It was close after six with maybe a slight edge to Tim, and as is the case with many great fights, there is that one round, that all-important three minutes where both guys look to stamp their authority, to remove ambiguity from equation.
		Witherspoon had looked like a legend in the making, but for two factors he may just have become one, firstly, Don King, who used and abused him, taking atrocious chunks of his career purses, and a secondly a lack of discipline that saw him balloon in weight over the years.
