Who out of the following do you think could knock out George Chuvalo and Oliver McCall?

Vitali was knocked out cold in at least one kickboxing match.

 

Yeah, but not in boxing.

 

We already know that Chuvalo can be forced into a stoppage. McCall is a harder one to call because with the exception of his mental breakdown against lennox, he’s never TRULY been stopped conventionally. That said I think Tyson, Foreman and Louis would have the best Chance I’d stopping both. I don’t see Wlad stopping either one only because he was often cautious and only took the chances that he absolutely needed to take

 

Yes, I agree. But, he was knocked out. It wasn't just a stoppage. He did have a good chin. But, it does show that he could be hurt when hit right. Corey Sanders had him pretty wobbly in the first round of their fight (and, arguably could have been credited for a knockdown) before Sanders ran out of gas. Sanders came into that fight in dreadful shape.

 

Mike Tyson
Wladimir Klitschko
Lennox Lewis

 

A big thing to note is that he wasn't KOd by something as light as a punch, but by a kick. I'm not saying he was impossible to KD, but obviously a kick is very different from a punch.

 

How could I have forgotten? Valuev was never KDd. He had a truly iron chin.

 

For those interested, this is the most recent update on Chuvalo I could find - George having just turned 85. Not a lot of new detail provided but there are some recent pics of George with his son included. Legend.

I would quite confidently say they ALL go with a well executed kick - McCall, Cobb, Chuvalo etc.

George has been through hell. He lost his wife and several sons to suicide and drug abuse. My heart goes out to him. Truly one of the toughest men that's ever lived.

 

I'd go with Tyson if I had to pick one. Best combination of power, speed, and workrate to just completely bombard them.

 

When Foreman fought Chuvalo, it was interesting to observe Chuvalo’s demeanour after he tasted Foreman’s early round jab and power shots.

I won’t go so far as saying that he appeared distressed but, at least as I saw it, the Canadian had a look of real concern that was uncommon for him.

Even before Foreman staggered George with the left hook in round 3 following up with the unanswered barrage, Chuvalo had already received a seriously brutal going over in the preceding two rounds.

Never seen Chuvalo back off in any other fight as he did in round 3 - except for a few random times when Cleve Williams nailed him in their match.

Chuvalo’s sole success against Foreman was a left hook to the head (round 1?) that did stun the young Foreman. The way Foreman easily shoved the proven strongman Chuvalo was almost as gob smacking. Foreman was truly a beast.
