    The battle of the convicts. The difference is Jumbo was a violent felon.

    I think wepner did some work for the mob. Don’t think he was exactly gentle

    I'm going to pick Jumbo, just for the fact that he could punch really well and Wepner cut rather easily. Jumbo by stoppage on cuts in 5-7 rounds.

    Wepner's peak would, i guess be 72-74, with wins over -
    Randy Neumann x 2
    Ernie Terrell
    Terry Hinke

    Jumbo's peak 80-82 -
    tko over 20-2 George Mostardini
    dec. loss to Snipes
    draw with the ghost of Frazier (he deserved the nod in that one)

    2 limited guys here, Jumbo could win via cuts stoppage or get stopped later on when those huge muscles drain of oxygen
