Henry Cooper vs George Chuvalo - Commonwealth heavyweight title - Toronto - 1966

Post by Fray Bentos »

So Ungerman has paid the dough and enticed 'Enry to come on over to fight hometown hero George Chuvalo over 15 rounds for the Commonwealth title at a packed Toronto Maple Leaf Gardens (I think that's what it's called :lol: ) it's late 1966, both have failed in their world title attempts vs Ali but they're still relevant and hold world rankings. Who is your pick?

Chuvalo probably stops Cooper on cuts. I think you'd have a hard time finding any kinda Heavyweight of note that Cooper would be favored against.

Either Sir Henry outboxes Chuvalo behind his jabs and left hooks to take a decision without engaging him on the inside or Chuvalo would stop him on a cut-eye stoppage.
