So Nugg,

How would you rate George Chavalo?


:cool:What can you say!! A great fighter with more heart than a pride of lions. Courage and skill, and the unquestioned ability to take it as well as dish it.

Just (.) that much short of a world champion. Too bad about that.

Scratch, how would you rate Sugar Ray Leonard??

When Ali was fighting under the name of Cassius Clay, I believe he was knocked DOWN by Henry Cooper, and Sonny Banks.

Don't think Chuvalo ever knocked him down. Joe Frasier and Chuck Wepner did.

Don't remember any others.:confused3:

I think it was Risus who asked me early this morning if Chavalo had knocked him down and I could not remember so all I could say was `Could be.` But I wasn't sure.

I can't find anything about George knocking Ali down, but George did go 15 rounds against Ali twice.

True.
As far as knocking him down all I could say was `Could be.`
Sorry about that.
