Would Chuvalo have worn Foreman out?

These topics are pretty funny, actually. "Rate George Chuvalo the human being as a punching bag. What pain caaan he endure?" To answer the question: **** man, i don't know.

 

It's possible but don't think he would,ve pulled it off...foreman ud

 

Ehhhmmmm........actually, they fought in 1970.

Foreman might have been a bit winded by the third round, but probably still had something left in the tank when the ref pulled him off Chuvalo.

 

Would Foreman have cracked Chuvalo's chin?

 

Foreman could have given Chuvalo brain damage as the other side of the coin.

 

I remember Chuvalo seeming dismayed at the stoppage and saying he was just waiting for an opening. If he wasn't going down from that onslaught he wasn't ever going down from anyone, could he have survived to stop a tiring Foreman later? I don't think so because Foreman had enough left in the tank to do the same thing the next round and a ref would have been still forced to stop it for Chuvalo's safety.

 

What if it was a fight to the finish?

I think Foreman stops him. but we have seen bigger comebacks under fight to the finish rules.

 

Chuvalo fought like a much more well rounded Homer Simpson, especially with the whole football helmet inside the skull toughness. My first instinct is that Foreman would've eventually knocked him out anyway. Then again, the dude could take an insane amount of punishment, so who knows?

 

That was what everyone was expecting in 1970 at Madison Square Graden.
But Foreman was nailing George Chuvalo with everything he threw.
The ref had no choice but to stop the bout.

Chuvalo was getting 'rock-n-rolled'.

 

...Personally, I believe Ali could've gone on to stop Holmes if allowed to. Has the OP done that thread yet?

 

Not likely. Chavalo was on his way out.

 

If I were a chicken... how many eggs do you guys think I could lay in a day?

 

Chuvalo himself has said that it was a premature stoppage and that Foreman was getting winded. I personally see this as one who possibly could have gone the other way had it not been prematurely stopped.

Foreman rocked Chuvalo with a big right, but after that he hardly connected. Chuvalo was in a good defensive shell and almost all Foreman's blows were glancing off. It looked much more brutal than it really was. To be fairr to the ref, I do think Chuvalo's cornerman throwed in the towel as well. But I think it was stopped prematurely, personally.
