    Wepner is not likely top 10 today. He was also not6'5. He is shorter than Ali as one can see in theit fight.

    He'd probably rank in the top 10 at cruiserweight at some point.

    Here is Wepner at the weigh in with Ali. Even though Ali is standing on the scales he is clearly shorter than Wepner!

    Spong is a former kick boxing champion who transitioned to boxing after he broke his shin bone Anderson Silva style. Haven't seen him box a real good fighter but dude was (is?) an absolute killer. But he's older now, I'd love to see him take on a top 10 guy soon.
