    Two extremely tough and durable guys who both fought a lot of top raters. Not totally sure who wins myself but I think this goes the distance and is close on the cards. Probably a good action fight too. What do you think ?

    I think the best version of Braddock would outbox George quite clearly. It would not be a great fight to watch.

    IF braddock boxes and avoids a war, he wins by a close decision.
    But if chuvalo forces his way inside though.....

    I think this sounds good.

    Could be a good little scrap indeed if George gets himself inside.
    Braddock was a tough little fella, he'd take some hard shots no doubt.

    I think Braddock had enough savvy to edge Chuvalo in a bruising match.
