Yeah, forget Robinson-Monzon, this is the one we all want! Randall by late rounds cuts stoppage, the ref would be a busy man, as would the local dry cleaners.

You're too much of a purist...Wepner-Cobb has infinite possibilities for entertainment value...Both went fifteen rounds with two of the greatestheavyweight boxers to ever live although only one finished the fifteenth round...

Just watch round 8 of Shavers-Cobb and you will know what I mean...

And I always confuse the two...But Cobb's distinguished career as a thespian distinguishes him...

Don't get me wrong big guy, i'd love to have seen this! I wouldn't have loved to have been in the front two rows though, unless I was auditioning for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre immediately afterwards.

And Uncommon Valor is a great movie!

Andre the Giant v Chuck Wepner has a certain masochistic appeal too...

I saw Andre The Giant wrestle at the Miami Beach Convention Center in 1976...I don't remember much of the match beside the fact that while he was distracted his partner was getting "killed"...
