    It was at the very tail end of William's career, but as the cliched saying goes, power is the last thing to go. It was also pretty damned close to the end of Chuvalo consistently fighting as well.

    Oh man, that rhythmed. Terrible. :dead

    Anyway, I've always been curious about Chuvalo's chin and how it held up against varying fighters.

    Did he take any monster bombs from William's over the course of those 10 rounds? Anything worth mentioning?

    Chuvalo won that fight easily, poor Cleve was a very shot fighter that night.
