    Should’ve been Jackpot or maybe chancer cos he sure as hell struck the jackpot when he sued Stallone for allegedly basing his Rocky character on him an his career and somehow won. I mean,who the hell watches the Rocky movies an has a reaction saying yeah that just like chuck wepner?

    A pity. I don't know who among them has an interest in shutting down such a quality magazine. In my country, an edition of the magazine "Ring" was published in the Serbian language. That's where I heard about fighters like Rob Kaman, for example.

    Never heard of him. You sure he was featured in the ring? Maybe you had a Serbian edition of the ring?

    Who watches Rocky and thinks he looks anything like a boxer ??
    And yet he's known more for boxing than most ATG's of the sport.

    Yes I'm sure, but he was a kickboxer. As long as I can remember (but don't take my word for it because more than a decade has passed) his specialty was breaking his opponents' legs; low kick kicks.

    That's because Wepner was a fighter and Stallone wasn't

    He looked like Mexican film bandit who'd been mauled by a bear after the Liston fight.

    I do fighter's records and add a 'Ten Count' of the top ten fighters they fought during their career. Case in point Joe Frazier 10-4 w/ 7 Knockouts vs top ten.
    and record their monthly top tens of their careers . Case in point Jerry Quarry (87 months in

    Research. Their ratings were the best anyway, Unbiased opinion.

    Muhammad Ali 32-5 with 20 knockouts vs top ten fighters (at the time) and Champions. and he was 32-3!!!
