Chuvalo was a very tough fighter. Not the greatest ring skills, not the fastest, but a very hard hitter and perhaps the strongest chin in the game at that time. Ali once said that Chuvalo was the toughest fighter he'd ever faced. As a Torontonian, Chuvalo did Canada proud!
@@p.a.paolino9505 I believe Williams' left leg was partially paralyzed as a result of the shooting. Not sure how old he was here in 71. The 2 fights Williams had with Liston are worth watching. A hell of a physical specimen in his day.
Big Cat was a fine fine fighter in his day with power in either hand! No question about that! Chuvalo was a granite chinned rugged brawler who never kissed the canvas in 96 fights, not many can claim that feat, let alone fight some of the greatest heavyweights ever. It’s a shame that Big Cat had been shot, nearly losing his life which was very sad because it robbed him of some valuable time in his career. I mean both men were gladiators! Thanks for the historic footage!

Most people don't know but Cleveland almost died in the operating table after getting shot after a Texas trooper shot him in the stomach.. he came back and continued his career.

Man oh man, had this fight happened six-years earlier, when both men were in their prime. The Big Cat could be knocked out, as Sonny Liston had already done. George Chuvalo was one of the strongest and most durable fighters of all time, even years past his prime. George "never" kissed the canvas, never! He would fight some of the games heaviest hitters, Joe Frazier, Oscar Bonavena, George Foreman, and a multitude of highly ranked contenders, none came close to knocking the "Iron Man" of boxing down. The fight with former heavyweight champ Floyd Patterson was a slugfest from get to go! Floyd's hand speed, throwing combos of 4 or 5-punches, and landing most of these thrown punches. The Fight of the Year according to Ring Magazine. This fight here, done 5-years earlier, would have been a fight fans dream fight!
@@EwFatppl Nico, the Big Cat, in his prime, certainly could have beaten George, but if I was a betting man, I would put my money on George to win a brutal, hard fought fight. If George Foreman, Joe Frazier, Oscar Bonavena, Jerry Quarry, numerous other top-10 fighters could not "rambled" George, I don't think Cleveland could have. A hard fought fight, but remember that Cleveland suffered several KO's in his career. George "never" kissed the canvas, despite those heavy hitters he met in his career.
yeah exactly there aint no one like mr chuvalo i watched his interview so he mustve liked double bubble gum alot lol, but aint no one able to take more punishment than chuvalo not ali not marciano no one not anyone no one can take that away from the king of canada (chuvalo)
Cosell , would fawn over big stars like Ali and Sugar Ray but he had no respect for plucky underdogs. He would often disrespectfully deride very courageous efforts by lesser talents .
Exactly, he had his favorites. Arrogant man. I remember during the 2nd Ali-Patterson fight, he was calling the latter "amateurish" .... the latter was only a heavy champ himself, and one of the quickest and most skilled fighters of his generation. I remember a buddy was enraged by some comments Cosell made during the 1984 Olympics, during a Canada-US boxing match (I am in Canada).
Chuvalo's biceps(upper arms measurement) redd 15". He was obviously not flexing while being measured. He would have at least 17-1/2 or 18" upper arms while flexed. He was a Very Jacked 6'1 227 lb'er.
I would guess his arms to be 16.5 to 17 inches which is very impressive. It's funny, I have one of George Foreman's comeback fights on tape where they measured his arms at 21 or 22. Online it says something like 17 or 18 which is laughable. His arms were fucking massive, just like his fists. Cheers
@@FRLN500 How So..? Think about this for a Moment. Sugar Ray Leonard was listed as having 15" upper arms, and this while he was still a Welterweight(147) no less..!! This i saw in the tale of the tape comparisons in "The Ring" Magazine back in 1980, shortly before Leonard fought Duran in they're first bout back in June of 1980. In case you're wondering, Duran was listed as having 12" upper arms, for That specific tale of the tape. When you see them boxing in the ring in that bout, it's clearly evident that obviously Leonard's upper arm measurement was while Flexed, while Duran obviously didn't want to flex while being measured. Leonard Did Love to Chop Wood during his training camps, while Duran's upper body exercises were an even balance of Heavy-Bag, ShadowBoxing, Speed-Bag, and get this, playing Drums ! That's right ! According to what I've redd, Duran would keep switching back and forth between Bag-work and Playing the Drums. Believe it or not, they Do actually correlate quite well. I know this for proven fact being that I'm an avid percussionist and also a boxing training enthusiast. They Do in fact Compliment one another, especially if you try to play the drums with maximized intensity.
Chuvalo did not have 18" arms, maximum 16.5-17" when flexed and that's being generous. Arms built from boxing don't increase by 3" from flexing. 1-2" at most
Cleveland Williams looked washed up. He tied up repeatedly, grabbing Chuvalo's arms when George got on the inside. What was Howard Cosell thinking, predicting a decision for Williams?
Been on Chuvalo binge lately this is great, thanks! Totally off topic of my beloved sport of 20+ years but the footage from the 50s through early 80s is crazy You get fights from the 60s looking in HD some in color. Then you see the 70s and early 80s and they look like they were recorded on a potato
Williams Was A Devastating Puncher Who Could Knock You Out With Either Hand! Particularly His Right Hand! But By This Time, He Was Just A Shell Of His Former Self! 🥊
Tough era in the heavyweight division. Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Jimmy Young, Ken Norton, Shavers etc. I saw Foreman pound on Chuvalo for 5 rounds until they stopped the fight. George could take a wallop!
The commentor must be blind to say this fight 'is no good ' because of the lack of boxing skills. I thoight it was an intregueing and tough fight with plenty of good punches being thrown by both fighters who both reacted with courage and came straight back.
The Watcher. A distant relative of his way back was the lookout at night when the Croats rose up against the Turkish occupation. His mother had a cousin Petar Barberic An official Saint in Croatia/ Herzegovina. A young priest who died and was exhumed 6 months later and was as fresh as the day he was buried. Fact! Google it.
@@iamtman1 Ali fought many controversial fights. I often wonder how could he have knocked down Sonny Liston yet never Leon Sphinx? Also Ken Norton in his prime was 50/50 against Ali.
Ali was 23 yrs old reaching his prime vs Liston. He was 37 yrs old with Parkinson’s disease already showing when he fought spinks. There’s your answer. An no Norton nowhere near as good as prime Ali before the layoff.
Chuvalo not being knocked down is kind of a misnomer. Foreman hit him with a thunderous left hook in the 3rd round that sent him flying back into the ropes. Had they not been there to bounce him back into George's wheelhouse, he would have gone down. His knees completely gave out. Only a few years later did they count that as a knockdown. Go watch it. Cheers.
And Joe Frazier beat the living shit out of Ali in his prime!! Joe was an all time great boxer but an even better human being. You never heard a racist or hateful word come out of Joe’s mouth. Unlike Ali.
Williams broke Liston’s nose but lost by KO. In the rematch, Liston had easier time & beat Williams by KO. Props to pre gunshot Big Cat for entering into the ring TWO times against Liston. Don’t think a healthy Williams coulda beaten a Prime Ali.
Williams was a very good heavyweight before he got shot. In fact back in the day word was if it hadn't have been for that he would have beaten Ali, also word was it was really his manager who shot him. Chavalo was a very rugged, strong, and durable fighter. Who could and did fight with anyone. Cut from the same cloth as Oscar "Ringo" Bonevena. Just two more tough Italians, one from Canada, and the other from Argentina. Much appreciation 💛 and respect for all three of these Men.
@@franksantucci3038 I always thought that,too, because the name Chuvalo sounds italian but he was from croatian descant and had nothing to do with Italy.
@@2009framat he's actually Canadian by Decent, and to my knowledge he's of mixed bloodlines, about half of which was Italian. But either way, he was still a rough tuff fighter that nobody played around with in the ring. And yes, he did Canada proud. And yes he was cut from the same cloth as Oscar "Ringo" Bonavena, and "The Wild Bull Of The Pampas" Louis Firpo, who knocked Dempsey out of the ring when he was champ. Although "The Manassa Mauler" climbed back in the Ring, and K.O.ed Firpo in devastating fashion a round later, with a vicious barrage of punches the likes of which have almost never been seen. All of these men were from the same cloth, less Dempsey as he is an all time Great. I have him at no3, but still a rough tough fighter like the others. I don't believe anyone ever took Chuvalo off his feet, and he ducked no one, and fought everyone. Molto respect for all these Fighters. Ciao.
i dont know how much they got for this fight but trying to hazard a guess. Ali / folley fight in 1967 Ali got 250 grand while folley got 80 grand with that being a title fight four years earlier i would think chuvalo/williams fight would have earned both these fighters 50 grand each what with it not being a title fight.
Big, BIG respect for Cleveland Williams,who fought a prime Ali, after he received gunshot wounds that required a lengthy hospital stay. Could Tyson or Holyfield have shown that bravery? Don't make me laugh.....
@@benrking7922 .. I guess you never knew 1964-1967 ever existed .. and that he beat George Foreman as well I guess you forgot all of that .. good job .. he beat Sonny Liston and George Foreman in two of the biggest upsets ever in heavyweight title history .. you obviously have no clue and know nothing.
The announcer made a mistake when he said that Chuvalo fought Frazier for the heavyweight championship. Frazier was not champion and would not become champion for another 7 months and 3 fights after facing Chuvalo.
It looked like he was chewing on his finger as well. It looked scary. My first thought was that something bad was wrong with him but they were somehow covering it up for financial reasons. Whatever it was it didn't look right.
