George Chuvalo - Is a retired Canadian professional boxer who was a five-time Canadian heavyweight champion, and two-time world heavyweight title challenger. Chuvalo, who is considered by many to have one of, if not the best chin in boxing history, was never knocked down in his amateur career, in his professional career, or in sparring, and was ranked #4 on ESPN's greatest chin in boxing history list. Chuvalo; a big, rugged, bull necked fighter, was known for his physicality, pummeling style, punching power and his brutal body attack. The late Nat Fleischer described him in a 1965 article – "…Chuvalo is a crude, strong, powerful, flat-footed pugilist who knows only one way to fight – the old bare-knuckle style in which roughness and body pummeling were featured. Scientific boxing is not part of Chuvalo's equipment……". Rocky Marciano was quoted saying that Chuvalo was a hundred years too late. He fought in the golden era of heavyweight boxing during the 1960s and 70s. Chuvalo lost to heavyweights such as Floyd Patterson, Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier and George Foreman, but was credited for his spirited performances. He did defeat top contenders such as Yvon Durelle, Doug Jones, Jerry Quarry and Cleveland Williams. He fought for the world title twice, losing a controversial decision to Ernie Terrell and another decision in his first fight with Ali.
