    Two of the best chins in heavyweight boxing.

    I have to say Mercer takes this one because in his prime he showed a good jab and great stamina.

    Chuvalo was strong, I think although he lost Ali was in the hospital while he went out dancing with his wife!

    I don't see anyone hitting the canvas in this one, let's discuss. :bbb

    I am going with George, it seemed to me he was the trial horse of his era, in that if you could beat him you could fight for the championship, but if not then you were a journeyman and not a top contender.
    I think his record against ranked fighters is better than Mercer.

    Yeah I can see that. But Mercer is known for giving Elite fighters a hard time
    Just re-watched Lennox vs Mercer he actually forced him to fight in that one.
