You'd know about the terrible tragedies he's had in his life, losing 2 of his 4 sons to heroin addiction, which ended in his wife committing suicide..
The fact that George is still normal, beggars belief.. Helluva strong character!

True, he showed tons of character in and out of the ring. He speaks at schools against drugs and is a real class act. 1 son blew his head off, the other two overdosed, I think his wife overdosed on something also. Many people take the easy way out or the path of least resistance. People like Chuvalo are examples that you can overcome extreme hardship if you make the choice to do so.
I consider Chuvalo one of the most admirable men outside the3 ring that boxing has ever produced. To have such strength and character after such tragedy is unbelievable.

Considering the punishment he took it was great to see him in such great nick in the Facing Ali documentary.
Tragic story Chuvalo's at the very least he's owed continued good health.
What fighter past or present could knock this man off his feet? Joe Frazier and George Foreman got the K.O.'s, but neither knocked him off of his feet. I would love to see what Liston, or Tyson, and Shavers could do.
Chuvalo was a tough SOB, that's for sure, but I'd say the three you listed, maybe Louis, Ibeabuchi, Tua, Dempsey, Marciano, maybe Ruddock and Morrison might also have a chance.
