Nice to know the rumor that he had 3 rows of teeth was not true

Is he still so unusual? He never looked very athletic at all, wasn't very believable imo that no one could beat him.

Wepner was famous for going the distance with Ali and knocking him down in the 9th round.
Wepner and Andre had met beforehand and decided to give it a good show, but both got pissed at how hard the other one was going, and things got a bit out of hand.
Boxer vs Wrestler years before the UFC. Wepner was the inspiration for the Rocky character and this was the original Thunderlips vs Rocky.
