I thought he fought Ali fairly close in their first fight, And that was against a prime Ali also.
I think the era he came from was much better the fact that he was not the best in his era should not matter that much. He was not a great fighter in the greatest era of Heavyweights. But the fact that a mid 40s Forman was competitive against the 90s Heavyweights which was better the the current Heavyweights show's how good Chuvalo's era was.
I give him a chance against anyone in the top 10, Vitali would be his toughest fight but by know means is it a given that Vitali would beat him.Last edited by Holtol; 11-12-2010, 01:32 PM.

Contender in the 1960s-1970s Heavyweight division =
Champion in the 2000s Heavyweight division
Journeyman in the 1960s-1970s Heavyweight division =
Contender in the 2000s Heavyweight division
Tomato can in the 1960s-1970s Heavyweight division =
Journeyman in the 2000s Heavyweight division
There's a BIG difference in class between the two eras.

if you think a journeyman from any era has more than a slight chance against either klitschko you dont know jack **** about boxing
i saw a post saying that a journeyman from bygone days is as good as one of today's contenders
if we're saying a contender has a chance to become champion (which he does by definition)
then you are saying that bygone journeymen have a chance against a klitschko
i'll guess that you've:
A: never been to a boxing match
B: never met a klitschko
C: have never been hit in the head,
