George Chuvalo vs. Chuck Wepner

[scorpio83]

10 (12 or 15) Rounds Heavyweight Bout

Chuvalo would get the better of the "Bayone Bleeder" by body punching and cutting both his eyes with right hands and left hooks to either take a decision or stopping him late by a cut eye. What do you guys think and who do you got?

You'd have to favor Chuvalo here. Neither man is a huge puncher, but Chuvalo is definitely going to hold up to punishment better than Wepner is.

Wepner has the reach on him, so he may be able to sting him coming in with that sometimes, but he's a fairly slow guy so Chuvalo would probably usually be able to get inside with relatively little to worry about.

[Joson]

Chuvalo by decision. He was simply a higher calibre fighter than Wepner.
