    On a HW roll. Who and why.

    Chuvalo all day. Just a superior fighter. Body punches galore. He would not even feel cobbs pitiful arm punches. Cobb gets beaten badly.

    Bingo. Tex took a great shot to the head, but not so much to the body. He just gave opponents the head so they would land everything on that noggin. Back and forth type fight & lets say not as back and forth as the Cobb--Spinks bout but slightly more effectiveness in there. So maybe like a 6-3-1 type scorecard with Chuvalo getting the nod.

    No one gets knocked out here. That's for certain.

    Chuvalo is by far the more skilled man. Because both are tough as nails it goes the distance in what would look like a glorified sparring session. But, Chuvalo would be the one landing more leather, and would win a clear decision.

    Chuvalo by UD. A little better skilled and just as tough.

    Probably Chuvalo. Both had legendary chins and they both lacked the firepower to crack open one. I give it to Chuvalo in a less than thrilling decision because I believe him to be the more skilled one, but this isn’t the hill I’ll die on.
