"Terrible" Tim Witherspoon (b. 1957) was given his nickname by
Muhammad Ali, after he served as Ali's sparring partner. Witherspoon made
his pro boxing debut in 1979, and got everyone's attention when he lost a
controversial split decision to Larry Holmes in 1983. Pro boxing's rival
organizations often name competing champions, but Witherspoon held the
heavyweight title of the NABF and WBC (1983-1984), and the NABF crown again in
1985-1986. He made a different kind of headline with a law suit against promoter
Don King in 1987. (King eventually settled out of court for $1 million.)
Witherspoon's career record was 55-13-1, with 38 knockouts. He is now trains top
prospects in Philadelphia. Witherspoon fought three bouts in Madison Square
Garden, including two winning contests in 1996. Fine condition.
