    Johnny Risko is my favorite fighter of the week. Expect 20 or 30 more threads involving him.

    Who have you in this Titanic match-up of toughness and chin. Risko fought a full fight with a dislocated shoulder, was only really stopped (legally) by Schmeling and in his final fight. He damaged both of Gene Tunney's hands on his iron jaw. He fought as many as 20 times in a year.

    Wilson's Iron Jaw is something of a modern legend, tested against Briggs, Golota, Ibeabuchi, Botha, Rahman, Maskaev, Sam Peter, Tony Thompson and Oliver McCall... among many others. He did not win often but he was always in the game.

    Both fighting on 10 days notice. 10 rounds of mayhem. Who ya got?

    Going with Risko. He was the better fighter IMO
