    Simon was a big, imposing looking guy but he looks like utter shite on film. He seems not to possess a single fast twitch fiber in his entire body. He is an arm-puncher with bad balance. He rarely gets good leverage on his punches. He is a specimen they tried to convert to a boxer. No offense to the man but he doesn't look class in the ring.

    Body over produced growth hormone. He is not a naturally big guy.

    More interesting the 256 lbs Simon couldn't beat the 186.5 pounds Turkey Thompson.
    Big difference between the bone structure and muscular power Simon was just a featherfist.

    You are kidding right?

    Simon was one of the harder punchers of the era, and Thompson was another.
