Klitschko and Peter vs Wepner

[Halfamill]

How would a prime Chuck Wepner do against Wladimir Klitschko and Samuel Peter?

[The Great John L]

As long as he could avoid Wepners rabbit punches, Wlad would pound Wepner into a bloody mess and stop him in the middle rounds.

Peter-Wepner would be a horrible fight with lots of clinching and fouling. I'd probably favor the limited Peter by UD over the inept Wepner.

Is this attempted baiting? Of course Wepner would lose to both Peter and Klitschko, he was nothing more than a journeyman who got a lucky title shot. Besides a completly bogus decision against a faded Terrell, the only name of note Wepner ever beat was Randy Neumann, who happened to be the referee when Klitschko fought Peter in Atlantic City.

I do think he could possibly go the distance vs Peter, and he'd be eventually stopped by Wlad, but the one-sided contest would go on for WAY too long due to Wlad's psycho-extreme cautiousness.

[Diamond WEAPON]

They both stop him. Wlad around the 7th from accumulation with cautiousness. Peter in the 5th from brute force in a somewhat sloppy fight before he lands the bombs.

Wlad stops him in 3, Peter in 4 or 5. No contest.

I agree with tszyu4ever on Wlad stopping a prime Wepner on cuts relatively early. Klitskcho's jab alone would probably do the job, much like Foreman's did in their bout.

As for Peter, I actually see Wepner extending him late. While Peter's got power, Chuck had a world class chin & Peter's big, clubbing blows wouldn't have had nearly the same damaging, fight ending effect as Wlad's sharp shots would. So, I see a Wepner - Peter match being a long, mauling, DIRTY affair.
