The Greatest Chin of All-Time?

Looking at the video i wonder why the ref stopped the Foreman - Chuvalo fight.
Sure he got hit by a good shot but the follow up barrage was mostly missing or blocked..... for sure he did not look hurt in the least.
What i am a little surprised about and admittedly because i have not seen that much about Chuvalo is that he did alot of good bodywork that seemed to bother George.... i wonder what would happen if the fight had continued.

If Chuvalo had been able to weather the storm that Foreman brought to him, he likely could have won in the end. He is a strong fighter who works the body and has a phenomenol chin, and Foreman is known to tire.

 

Right after the ref stopped the fight Chuvalo said something to the effect of 'What are you, kidding?'
That's a tough mofo.

Yep, Chuvalo was kind of shelling up to avoid being hit cleanly when it was stopped. Things may have been very different if the referee had let this go and Foreman tired out as expected after putting everything into a knockout.
