Tex Cobb vs Scott LeDoux

[Kalan]

At heavyweight? Who?
Oliver McCall had a hell of a chin & was never stopped or dropped but, then again, he didn't face the same sort of opposition as Chuvalo. So, who had a better beard than him?

Opposition??? GTFO.... Who did Chuvalo ever face who was a big and powerful as Lennox Lewis??? .... NOBODY!!!!

Chuvalo was mostly facing little guys like Jimmy Ellis, Jerry Quarry, Doug Jones, (LHW) Floyd Patterson, Eduardo Corletti, and a dozen little guys you never heard of... McCall and Vitali were facing full big Heavyweight who could hit... Chuvalo turned his back on 204-pound Frazier and quit... 218lb Foreman smashed Chuvalo and they were forced to stop it.

Those 2 were the only prime punchers Chuvalo ever faced and they both stopped him early.

Oh c'mon. Everyone has a right to their opinion but your's is just out of whack on this subject.
Chuvalo faced many other fighters that were damned good punchers than you mentioned. Men like Mike Dejohn, Bob Cleroux, Jerry Quarry & Oscar Bonavena were all big hitters who failed to drop Chuvalo.
As for his failure to fight anyone like Lennox Lewis during his career, there simply weren't any back during Chuvalo's era, so it's a moot point.

Right... Chuvalo never faced anyone as big, tall, and powerful as Lennox Lewis because there weren't any in his day... You got that right... But the 2 best punchers of Chuvalo's time bombed him out early... Bonavena was a club footed, 5'11" X 203 swinger, but he beat Chuvalo on points... He'd have put Chuvalo away if he had more athleticism and balance.

Never went down...ever...can't be bombed out early if you don't kiss the canvas. C'mon Kalan, I thought you fought!

You can be stopped early, but not bombed. out.
