Joe Louis v George Chuvalo would George be there at the end of the 15th?

He'd get TKO'd early ala Foreman.

If we're talking a sadistic ref or no stoppages without ten counts, I still think he'd be stopped, but around 7 or 8.

He just doesn't have the defense to keep Louis from taking him out.

 

I think Chuvalo might give Louis more troble than some people might think.

Louis just wouldnt be comfortable with his style, the crouch the pressure. He wouldnt like it and he would look bad for a while.

In the end though Louis would find Chuvalos rythm and start milling him. In the end he would do enogh damage to force a TKO.

 

Foreman was able to ring his bell, while Frazier cause him to turn his back in submission. Punch for punch, Louis might not have had the firepower of either, but even if that was the case (questionable with Frazier), no heavyweight could combine powershots together quite the way Louis could. No, I don't see Chuvalo getting to the final bell.

 

It's possible, because George was a rather large Heavyweight (240's?).

But my estimation would be no, considering Louis may not hurt him with the first punch he lands, but the second, or third. Combinations would be key, and I could see Louis busting Chuvalo up, leaving a referee with little choice but to stop it.

 

If Chavalo fought to go the distance, I think he makes it. If he fought to win down on points, I think Louis would stop eventually.

Much is made of Chavalo's durability. It is odd that the two best punchers he faced stopped him in inside four rounds from punches.

 

I think Chuvalo would give Louis some awkward moments, but ultimately- with a ref from the last 75 years, anyway- I would expect Louis to get a TKO by the 12th round.

 

I think Chuvalo would offer a rugged try but Joe was a two fisted puncher and would really have a power punch stat field day on George....it just boils down to how much damage would Joe do and how much could George take...Wrong Fight for George....tko stop for Joe

 

Ouch! If Frazier fractured the Chuvalo cheekbone, Louis would cause considerable pain too and most probably halt the Canadian punching bag.

 

Simply put - no.

Joe was far too accurate and punishing a puncher for Chuvalo to handle. Joe would wear him down and cut him up.

 

Louis had way better one-punch power than Frazier.

 

Louis was too precise, too fast, and too powerful. I don't think he'd be able to KO Chuvalo, but he'd do something similar to what Frazier and Foreman did to him.

 

In a way Joe would have already had a good Warm up
- He Flattened the Chuvalo of his day, Paulino Urzcudo
with a stunning left hook in the 4th Round

It would of been intersting to see if Joe could of actually introduced George to the canvas

I have little doubt that Joe could have forced a Ref's intervention
but if Galento could put Joe Down Maybe George would prove a real Handful in te early going. ?

 

I think Louis would probably stops Chuvalo on cuts and swelling. Frankly, I think Louis would put him down a couple of times.
