    Baer was known for a top chin as you say Suzie.

    not only baer, How bout Two Ton Tony Galento. Never floored before louis despite facing a long list of punchers and was never floored after fighting louis despite fighting more big punchers.

    chuvalo would win. he'd tire louis out if he didn't knock him out early. louis doesn't have chuvalo's stamina

    Agreed. Louis had problems with stamina throughout his career - and a shaky chin.

    A terrible fight for Chuvalo ... no one takes too many shots from the murderous punching, lighting speeded Louis ... would make the Frazier and Foreman stopages look like a cake walk ... very bad match up for Chuvalo ...

    I honestly believe that Joe would cut and bruise Georges' face to the point of the Ref stopping it. Chuvalo was supremely strong so I don't see a clean KO.

    For the 1st two or three rounds George might give Joe some trouble but after that it's all Louis. Joe busts him up and stops in on his feet around seven.

    It's hard to fathom just how many things that great corner of Blackburn/Seamon would find for their guy to capitalize on in their pre=fight preparations. Chuvalo loved a body attack and threw lots of lead rights from the outside. That's suicide against a deadly counterpuncher like Joe Louis.

    This looks like a referree stops contest in about 10 one sided rounds with Chuvalo still on his feet but all busted up.

    Maybe, but Joe wouldn't be able to floor George.

    Louis by tko
    I think Chuvalo's wide-ish body shots would screw him and Louis would eventually time him coming in and as Jack Johnson said ''Louis could knock anybodys brains out coming in'' and i think he may do it to Chuvalo but his chin is great so maybe a Tko no ko

    See the Galento fight to see what happened to face-first brawlers who messed with a peak Louis' sharp, dialed in offense.

    Chuvalo doesn't see 8, much less 15.

    I felt like it would look like the last knockdown of that fight with Chuvalo a bloody mess being held up partly by the ref and ropes stumbling around
