    If they'd faced each other around 1967 ?Wepner a few years in to his career ,Floyd still decent enough at this point and actually looking very good for his age .Could Chuck get a big name win on his resume, or does Floyd show him who's boss ?

    Floyd wins every round and stops Wepner on cuts. Complete mismatch

    The promoter and Wepner's manager would have to be arrested for putting on and agreeing to this mismatch.

    Wepner was not a puncher at all & he was slow, Floyd was fast & accurate & probaly stop Chuck on cuts or RSC

    I think Patterson might be a bit overrated,

    but Wepner?

    Patterson by either a one-sided decision, a win on cuts, or possibly a late KO after he wears Chuck out.

    Floyd would get more work on the heavy bag. It moves better than Wepner.
