    I saw a short clip of him and he seemed really genuine. I don't know how his sons ended up on heroin, but he's trying to make up for it and save some people now.
    yes, now he's giving back, and trying to get the message across. The guy visited a lot of the old schools that i used to go to. The ring also printed up a nice article about him. There's a lot of information including his site.

    It's a shame really, it seems like the guy had some kind of a curse. I believe one of his sons is alive and is a teacher in Toronto. I dont know about George's current state but it seems like he's on the move and keeping busy. I wish him well

        This dude had 3 sons. 2 of which died from heroin overdoses and a third that committed suicide. After which his wife did the same..committed suicide.

        I've heard of some pretty sad stories, but this one has GOT to be at the top of the list. God works in mysterious ways (believe that BULL**** if it makes life easier to explain/deal with for you)

        I think what they are doing is a feature for ESPN Sportscenter later in the month. George is a hell of a nice guy, and amazingly sharp for someone who took so many hard punches.

          Chuvalo has the best chin of all time

          He fought all of the best fighters in his era, took all their best punches and never went down.

              Yup. One is still alive and doing well. Suppose I should of mentioned that... I would say thank god..but..You probably already guessed my stance on that from the opening post.
