    I can see him beating Hart, possibly Burns, possibly Carnera, Ingo, maybe Weaver, maybe an off Baer, quite a few of the alphabet guys who came later ..

    Give Ali a run?:huh
    Moorer would box Chuvalo's ears off.

    Ali stood there and let Chuvalo hit him in the body.

    He didn't do that for fun... He was trying to make Chuvalo wear himself out... Chuvalo put a lot of pressure on Ali and roughed him up... Believe me all night Ali felt those hammering shots Chuvalo threw to his ribs...

    And still couldnt win more than three rounds of a 15 rounder on a generous scorecard...

    BTW, kindey punches and low blows arent scoring punches. Jus' sayin'.

    The judges may not have given him more then 3 rounds but I feel he won more then that... Kidney punches and low blows may not be scoring punches and can lead to point deduction when being allowed to get away with them they can do a great job breaking you're opponent down.. I don't think to many fighters could take the onslaught Chuvalo unleashed to Ali's body over 15 rounds...Don't knock Chuvalo's performance against Ali he went 15 rounds with arguably the greatest heavyweight in his prime and gave him a tough fight maybe not a close fight on the judges scorecard but it was a rough 15 round title fight...

    I think he could beat Ruiz and Rachmann.

    I am not sure that I could favor him over any of the lineals.

    I would have to say that Uzcdun was significantly better.
