Who would have the best chance of flooring George Chuvalo

I would say Liston. They were actually supposed to fight before the whole phantom punch fiasco. Would have been interesting. I think Liston's jab would be the deciding factor as Chuvalo liked to bully you with pressure and body shots and Liston is one of the few guys on the list who could stop him in his tracks with the jab AND bludgeon him with powerful combinations once he had him hurt. Liston would also be going to the body which few people did against Chuvalo. It would take quite a while, but if Liston is in shape and serious I see him dropping Chuvalo at least once over 15 or perhaps hurting him so bad he takes a knee. Tough as he was, Chuvalo could be hurt and does have human reactions--the way he turned to the ref after Frazier bludgeoned his eye always stands out to me.

 

would have been an excellent fight

 

Chuvalo is overrated, he was decimated by Frazier and cowered in the corner against Foreman and acts like he was pulling a rope a dope to this day and that he would’ve beaten Foreman.

Sore loser, utterly in love with his status as “boxing’s most durable man” yes the grand punching bag he was indeed.

 

Oscar Bonavena but on that list I'd go with Louis or Tyson, put together their combos alot better than the other choices which is what's needed here, if it's just single shots he's going to likely recover quick. I just don't think Jack Dempsey is good enough really, fight me.

 

Tyson, Dempsey or Lewis fast. Louis or Liston smash him up and stop him later.

 

As good as Chuvalo's chin was, and it was solid, if the referee had not stopped the Foreman fight, he was on his way to hitting the canvas and being out cold if allowed to continue taking those thudding blows. He had to retire in pain against Frazier relatively early from those snapping left hooks to the eye. So do I think the all-time great punchers mentioned above get him - probably, yes. I think Chuvalo would go out faster to guys who were more explosive, like Dempsey, Tyson, and Louis. He'd have a much better chance to hang in there and beat a guy like Shavers, who was chinny and had condition issues - I'd pick Chuvalo over Shavers, as well as Klitschko version 1 - who would get tired pounding at him and then possibly taken out by George, though version 2 of VK probably controls him with his height and reach and clinching a la Povetkin and wins a decision. Liston gets him too, but I think Chuvalo would put up an entertaining fight against Sonny before getting stopped around 7 or 8. I think Chuvalo and Baer could be a 50--50 fight, depending on which version of Baer shows up. That actually would be really entertaining, and I would not be surprised to see Chuvalo win it. In Valhalla.

 

Tyson only because explosiveness is what drops iron chinned guys, you gotta hit em with a fast explosive punch they don't see coming even if it is a flash knockdown

 

I think a few of them might, but if I had to pick just 1....I have the most confidence that Tyson would get him out of there.

 

He even bragged about Ali going to the hospital after they fought. Yes George, you danced the night away with your wife but you still lost the fight.

 

I would pick them all to KO chuvalo except Baer and dempsey

 

I despise him, just a punching bag full of excuses.

 

I went with Louis out of those selected. Although a few others in that list might have had a chance

 

Klitschko and Foreman. Foreman would have floored him except that Chuvalo's wife was screaming to the referee at ringside to stop it, so he did. I am not saying that was a bad thing. I think there's a lot of fighters throughout boxing history who could have used a screaming wife to come to their aid like she did.

 

Louis, Liston, and Tyson. Shavers despite being the hardest hitting of the bunch, has the least chance, and most likely loses himself.
