Who had the best chance to ko george chuvalo?

[butterfly1964]

Crikey, I'm almost sick to death of constantly hearing about Chuvalo by the nuthugging boxing press we have up here. Make no mistake...I like Chuvalo (his personality and watching him fight), and have a tremendous amount of respect for him for what he did in his boxing career and especially the tragedies he's had to endure. It's just guys like Russ Anber tick me off sometimes with their "Oh no question, Chuvalo is easily Canada's greatest Heavyweight of all-time" comments and those that are similiar...Bah!

but you can't argue he has the best chin of all time!

If I felt like arguing that, sure I could. There's plenty of other fighters who showed their chins were just as good, if not better than Chuvalo's (like Hagler). His chin isn't so far ahead of everybody else's and nobody can say that he gets the distinction hands down...Unless of course they're pushing an agenda, much like you do with Ali and everything related to him.

in the heavyweight division yes. but that does not equal all time.

Joe Louis. Speed, power and combinations - but I wouldn't bet on it happening.

Chuvalo, McCall, Cobb...are probably on par with each other.

Then there is Hagler, Lamotta etc. in the lower divisions. But we can't say they have AS good a chin as the heavies, cos if Foreman or Shavers hit on of them - lights out. P4P, they are as good though.

Someone once said that Bonavena really floored him twice in their fight but don't know more details.

[Cereal]

pacquaio, definitely

p4p, maybe not. but nobody in history has the chin that chuvalo has. foreman, frazier, ali, quarry, williams, bonavena, etc, some of the hardest, and most effective hitters in history tried to floor him and george did not go down, so that's saying something.

[Dynamite76]

Maybe Mac Foster could've floored Chuvalo.

Chuvalo had a great chin but it was not that much better than mccall's.
