George Chuvalo....Not Just The Boxer With Greatest Chin Of All Time....

you are bang on man. he does constant tours up here on drugs and his sons. you can see the hurt in his eyes but he pushes it back to get the point across. the man is a legend and a true warrior in every sense

 

yeah he does speaking engagements now. dude has been through hell and back

 

You said it man, huge mental strength, how he hung though through all that I dont know, that's a role model for you.

 

I knew about George's three sons, but I've never heard the story told quite like that.

And by the way, in the documentary "Facing Ali" George STOLE THE SHOW!

 

damn right! another documentary worth watching is "Last Round". It's a brilliant look at chuvalo's life.

 

He's fantastic in Facing Ali. He really helps to put the whole story in context. He's almost like the narrator, more so than the other fighters. Ron Lyle too, but not as much. That said, everybody has their moments in that film. I really dig it.

 

Good vid i always enjoy seeing him in vids hes a great talker.

 

I would love to see HBO dump Kellerman or Lampley, and hire Chuvalo.

 

:goodafter the beating he took from foreman, i can't believe he's so lucid

 

Chuvalo seems in good health now, shockingly.

 

George is the man... I had the pleasure of meeting him a couple times at events in Toronto... humble, funny, down to earth guy... and amazingly after all the punishment he took in a career that spanned 3 decades (not to mention his tragic personal life) he's still sound as a pound... no lisp, slurs or stutters what so ever. Unbelieveable.

One tough Croatian-Canadian SOB!

 

The amazing thing, through all of the beatings he is probably the most intact of any fighter of that era.

Loved him on Classic boxing with sugar and kenny.

 

:good

 

Chuvalo had guts.
