In 1976, at the Cleveland Convention Center, heavyweight Chuck Wepner fought Victor the Wrestling Bear. Victor was over 8ft. tall and weighed in at a ready 600 plus pounds.
Chuck started strong, using his jab and easily out boxing Victor (Victor was a good wrestler but was 0-0 as a boxer).
The fight got ugly when Webner jabbed the wrestler in his sensitive nose, Victor went nuts, forgot about boxing, wrestled Chuck to the mat and tried to smother him.
Victor was DQ'd and fined heavily for his actions.
It's a lesson for Floyd, don't hit a non boxer in his nose.
