    This version of George Chuvalo who went 15 years with prime Muhammad Ali in 1966. Would Wilder be in deep trouble with this Chuvalo? Wilders managers would be scared to **** with that Chuvalo.

    Chuvalo would easily make CW today. You can ask yourself how Huck, Lebedev or Afolabi would do vs. Wilder.

    He would be in deep trouble with the 2016 George Chuvalo.

    Chuvalo was what, 10 pounds lighter than Wilder?

    What about Huck vs. Wilder. Even money? I would think Wilder would be a massive favorite.

    No. Wilder is terrible, but Chuvalo was tiny, and most importantly, slower than Valuev. For real, his punches and moves were slower than Valuev's.

    No power or skills whatsoever to go with it.

    Wilder's last three bummy opponents are all better, H2H, than Chuvalo.

    Im in the same boat. I'd pick Wilder over any semi-skilled CW just because of size and reach differences.

    Wilder would destroy Marciano. And yes I think Wilder is a mediocre, sloppy SHW. But he's a SHW and Marciano would be fighting at LHW today.

    How many would pick Kovalev over Wilder?

    Marcino leaves Wilder twitching on the canvas inside 2 rounds.

    chuvalo traded on being a tough chinned strongman for his era .
    but his era was 40 years ago

    wilder wins this .

    Wilder would keep it long and win on points or cuts late as for Huck he would be destroyed .I would fear for his safety.
