Eddie Machen vs. George Chuvalo: 1965

For the third time, it was a crazy mistake!

 

You don't know what you're talking about so you best shut your mouth.

 

My apologies Matt, that was a rude and unprofessional way to handle your comment. However, what I said was not arrogant, and was not meant to be condescending. I was completely serious about what I said.

 

So far I have told at least 4 people that I got distracted and wrote that nonsense.

 

I don't think Machen was too far gone that he couldn't beat someone as good as Quarry once and a while and also hurt Terrell, but he was not the same guy who fought Liston and Billy Hunter years earlier and looked so impressive.

 

Phew! is right. When I first saw that "he still clearly beat Ali" I was like: "What? what creep wrote that?" ha ha

 

I agree. The Terrell and Frazier fights are good examples of that. I thought Machen was clearly losing both contests, but then had good rounds like Terrell-15 and Frazier-8. The Frazier fight is extremely one-sided, but one of my favorite fights actually. I find it interesting that you call Terrell-Machen a good contest.
