    Does anybody know how George Chuvalo is doing these days?

    Is his mind okay? It would be amazing if it is, few men ever took the punishment George did.

    I know he has some terrible personal tragedies, but he does much good work with kids the last I heard.

    Hope you're doing well, George.

    Of all his contemporaries, he's probably the most sharp and mentally able today. In fact, he comes across as very intelligent, and his elocution is fantastic. Considering all he's been through, in the ring and out, the man is amazing.

    I saw him on the same show. Yes, Chavalo is perhaps the lone fighter from the 60's who can speak well about the decade.

    there was an article on him in the ring magazine a few months back, he's doing very well and looking very healthy.
