    George Chuvalo had to endure more personal pain than anyone should ever have to deal with. Here is a short documentary about this poor man.

    Really sad stuff,yet the fact George is still standing and wants to help young kids keep on the straight and narrow via the example of his own family speaks volumes about the man.

    Sure does :good

    Makes you wonder why such terrible things happen to what certainly appears to be a decent guy.

    Very sad. Good to see him telling kids about his story in the hope they can avoid drugs.

    I read about George's troubles a few years back and that was heartbreaking. Seeing his reactions on film, and how clearly he's still broken up over all those losses is only more so.

    He was all=man in the ring, as he is today outside the ring. He has a chin for taking life's punches too.
