He was then beaten by a young Joe Bugner and Jerry Judge. He holds a decision win over Manuel Ramos, but lost by brutal stoppage to an older Sonny Liston in the ninth round. Wepner, or as most remember him, the “Original Rocky”, was not a terrible fighter and had some solid wins before taking the big step up to fight Muhammad Ali. Before that, he owned wins over Terry Daniels, Chuck Wepner, beat Jack O’Halloran twice and was knocked out early in his career by Jack Bodell. Roman ran into a prime George Foreman and was easily dispatched in round one. Now that we are clear let’s take a look at the top 10. That period in the early 1980s when John Tate and Mike Weaver were titleholders and there were multiple belt-holders in the mid-80s, well let’s just say out of the gate that from 1980-85 Larry Holmes was the true champ, and then Michael Spinks was the champ up until Mike Tyson knocked him out. And before anybody starts bitching, I am limiting this to true heavyweight championship fights. You know, back when being the Heavyweight Champion of the World meant something. That was until I started looking at the past twenty years and I realized what crap the heavyweight division has put out, so I altered my course and decided to limit it to the first 20-year period of my life, which happens to be 1970-1990. I am not going to lie here, my original plan was to do the top-10 from 1970 up to the present day. (Photo by: The Ring Magazine via Getty Images) Michael Spinks won the IBF heavyweight title by KO 4.
