    How about a George (The Washing Machine) Chuvalo against Oscar Bonavena? That might havebeen good (maybe they did fight? I don't really know).

    True - although Smokin' Joe stopped him in 4, but he was never down in either fight. Frazier just busted up his face and broke his cheek-bone in pieces with that left-hook, Foreman had him on the ropes and hit him with some brutal combinations and Chuvalo didn't even go down but the ref jumped in. I couldn't believe he stood up to that, his chin truly was outstanding.

    Chuvalo is a true warrior. Amazing how he's articulate and is able to still speak clearly after the punishment he took in the ring. Also suffered unimaginable personal tragedy which would have broken the toughest of men. I always respect what he has to say.

    They fought. Bonavena won a tough fight; it was one of Oscar's best wins.

    someone join me in emailing HBO to recommend George Chuvalo.

    How great would it be to have an articulate former HW contender who fought in the era of HW legends and who is actually smart and can think critically and articulate.
