Chuck Wepner vs Tex Cobb

[Nile4000]

15/Hwy, who wins?

[Expug]

Tex would bust him up.
He was better than Wepner in every facet.

I'd favor Tex to win this as well. This would've been a fun slugfest.

Trump tried to match these 2 in a cage in the mid 90's.

Tex Cobb would either take a decision or stopping Wepner late on a cut eye stoppage.

This fight is a toss-up. I believe Wepner and Cobb were roughly equal in athleticism, skill, experience, and physical attributes. IMO, Cobb's only real advantage is that he wasn't vulnerable to cuts.

Wepner's tendency to bleed probably wouldn't be a factor, though, because Cobb didn't have the hand-speed or, pinpoint punching accuracy to cut Chuck.

It definitely goes to the scorecards.

I'm waiting for someone to say 'they'd both be cruiserweights if they were fighting today.'
