    How about his bout with Patterson. Fight of the year and many saw him as the winner. Showed he could box and bang.

    Yes of course you know more than Lyle. I mean he only fought both Quarry and Bonavena. What right does he have to compare their power? We can just ask you and settle things quickly and easily

    Look,i have trained boxing and i have been in a ring,i am not another freak who never ever touched a glove of boxing,it is possible that bonavena did hit harder than Chuvalo ,BUT MUCH HARDER is a bull****,and your stupid logic of "quarry did hit harder than Chuvalo and lyle said that bonavena did hit harder than quarry,so bonavena did hit much harder than Chuvalo ". Boy what a trash ... first of all who did say that quarry did hit harder than Chuvalo .. ? You?
    Chuvalo did not have the skill but in raw power termns he was a total animal,i never saw bonavena having to box in circle,even frazier could not with him in the close distance body to body bonavena looks the stronger man vs frazier,Chuvalo looks the stronger man against bonavena.(a know that strength is not hitting power but i am talking about 2 departaments)

    A weight lifter's strength perhaps, but not in terms of functional boxing strength...Oscar topped him there.

    I dont think so,bonavena was Bull but watch the fight again,chuvalo imposed his strength over bonavena,simply Oscar was better

    I watched the fight several times. Chuvalo was much better

    No controversy. Quarry caught a clean left hook and didn't beat the count. Made excuses after.

    Yes he was tagged, went down got straight back up then decided to go down again and take a knee.
    He was obviously confused and miscalculated the count, it's not as though he was out of it in there.

    You write like a talking chimp and you know nothing about boxing. You are, however, excellent comic entertainment.

    He lost that fight. A loss isnt a win.

    Chuvalo has very few top wins. He was nothing special. Cleroux was the better Canadian HW.

    It was solid enough to get most fighters respect, but he lacked the ability to change the course of a fight based on one or two big punches More of an attrition type of KO puncher. Say 6.5 to 7 out of ten.

    If Chavalo had a bit more speed or power, he would be very dangerous!

    He gave a prime Ali a good fight, exposing his inability to keep a pressure fighter off.

    Ali went to the ropes and gave Chuvalo free shots at his mid-section, rather similar to Wilder and the fat boy the other night.
    If George won 2 rounds he did well.

    Referee: Jackie Silvers 73-65
    Judge: Tony Canzano 74-63
    Judge: Jackie Johnstone 74-62

    • Unofficial Associated Press Card: 73-62

    He definitely had heavy hands. I'd say similar to Mercer type power.
