    My money is on Chuck.

    the guy was too tough for Jumbo.


    but for how long he was in the game, for the experience he had, opportunities he got Jumbo was potentially a damn good fighter. Can’t knock him too much for that.

    You think all big muscular fighters have potential, even Carnera, you must have loved the WWF in the late 80`-early 90`s!

    This. If you looked hard at Wepner’s eyebrows they’d spring a leak.

    Kind of like how Arturo Gatti’s eye would start puffing up during referee’s instructions.

    Even though Chuck Wepner had a Marginally better career than Cummings, I think that Floyd was the type of fighter who could have out toughed and stopped him. Cummings wasn’t a bad fighter. He was just overmatched too early

    I'd go with Jumbo on a late cuts stoppage of the Bayonne Bleeder.

    Howdy pardner, are you just making uniform, “one size fits all” fight predictions or just being ornery, repeatedly egging for a gun fight?

    If the latter, I’ll be there, High Noon tomorrow. Where? Right here. :monoloco:
