    One of my all time favorite boxing quotes. I love both fighters and Larry out-Cobbed Randy in that one.

    Btw George on points. He was more skilled than Randall

    Two of the toughest heavyweights who ever lived. I like Chuvalo by a decision

    Chuvalo by UD. Lots of blood and swollen eye sockets in this one.

    The thing separating Chuvalo from Cobb is the jab. Chuvalo, despite Don Dunphy's commentary in the 60s, is that he had the better jab. Cobb displayed a good jab infrequently. I agree this would be a bruising, blood-bathed affair with Chuvalo the winner by decision.

    One thing for sure it wouldnt be a fight for the feint hearted.
    Two tough guys beating the bejabbers out of each other. My heart wants my buddy Tex to win but I'll just say
    May the best man on the night win

    That’s for sure. I could see this being an entertaining brawl on the undercard of a world championship fight. Problem is, the combatants of the main event would be overshadowed by the action of the preceding fight !!
