<human>308172</human>

Donald "Donnie" Hamilton, 87, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, on September 4, 2026, after courageously fighting a long illness. Donnie was a life-long resident of the Syracuse area. He retired from Onondaga County in 1997 after 35 years of service, 29 years as Director of Physical Services for the Health Department. He also served on the Town of Onondaga Planning Board and as Town Councilman for 28 years.

Those who knew Donnie knew his love for boxing and politics. He joined the Syracuse Boys Club boxing team and flourished as an amateur, fighting throughout Central New York before deciding to turn professional. Although a car accident ended his dream of a professional boxing career, his involvement in the sport continued. He became assistant head coach of the Syracuse Boys' Club boxing team, guiding many local amateur standouts to titles. His coaching success led to his being named twice to coach the United States boxing team in international competition. He later served as a referee at the War Memorial. Donnie was a noted boxing historian and valuable advisor to the International Boxing Hall of Fame, where he served as Vice President of the Board of Directors.

'''George Chuvalo''', who was born to Croatian parents and grew up in a tough neighborhood called "The Junction" in Toronto, boxed professionally from 1956 to 1978. [[Ring Magazine|''The Ring'' magazine]] described him as "a barrel chested, bullet proof heavyweight with killer instinct and hitting power."

Chuvalo had wins against such boxers as [[Alex Miteff]], [[Yvon Durelle]], [[Mike DeJohn]], [[Doug Jones]], [[Manuel Ramos]], [[Dante Cane]], [[Jerry Quarry]], and [[Cleveland Williams]].

Among the men who defeated Chuvalo were [[Floyd Patterson]], [[Ernie Terrell]], [[Muhammad Ali]] (twice), [[Oscar Bonavena]], [[Joe Frazier]], [[Buster Mathis]], [[George Foreman]], and [[Jimmy Ellis]].

Although he was stopped twice—losing to Joe Frazier by a [[Joe Frazier vs. George Chuvalo|fourth-round TKO]] and George Foreman by a [[George Foreman vs. George Chuvalo|third-round TKO]]—Chuvalo was never knocked down in 93 professional fights.

Jerry Glick of ''SecondsOut.com'' called him "without question the toughest of the tough," and [[International Boxing Hall of Fame|Hall of Fame]] boxing writer [[Graham Houston]] ranked his chin as the fourth best of all-time in 2008.

In an interview with Graham Houston in 1998, Chuvalo said that although he is known mostly for being able to absorb punches, he could box a bit, too. "If I got hit with one-tenth of the punches that I was reputed to have been hit with," he said, "I wouldn't be able to talk to you."

Chuvalo won the Canadian Amateur Heavyweight Championship in May 1955, defeating Winnipeg's Peter Piper by a first-round knockout in the tournament final. Chuvalo was chosen to represent Canada at the 1956 [[Olympic Games]] in Melbourne, Australia, but he decided to bypass the Olympics and turn pro in order to support himself. His amateur record was 16-0, with 16 knockouts.

He turned pro in Toronto on April 23, 1956. He knocked out four opponents that night to win the [[Jack Dempsey]] Heavyweight Novice Tournament. Dempsey, who promoted the tournament with Frank Tunney and Deacon Allen, refereed the final between Chuvalo and [[Gordon Baldwin]], which Chuvalo won by a second-round knockout. Chuvalo received $500 and a trophy.

Chuvalo defeated [[James J. Parker]] by a [[George Chuvalo vs. James J Parker|first-round knockout]] to win the vacant Canadian Heavyweight Championship in September 1958. Between August 1960 and August 1961, Chuvalo and Montreal's [[Bob Cleroux]] fought three times in Montreal for the title. Cleroux won the first by a hotly disputed [[George Chuvalo vs. Bob Cleroux (1st meeting)|12-round split decision]], Chuvalo won the second by a [[George Chuvalo vs. Bob Cleroux (2nd meeting)|12-round unanimous decision]], and Cleroux won the third by a [[George Chuvalo vs. Bob Cleroux (3rd meeting)|12-round split decision]]. Chuvalo became the Canadian Heavyweight Champion for a third time when he scored a [[George Chuvalo vs. Hugh Mercier|first-round knockout]] of [[Hugh Mercier]] to win the vacant title in the latter's hometown of Regina, Saskatchewan, in March 1964.

In November 1965, Chuvalo fought [[Ernie Terrell]] in Toronto for the [[World Boxing Association]] Heavyweight Championship and lost by a [[Ernie Terrell vs. George Chuvalo|15-round unanimous decision]]. Four months later, Chuvalo fought [[Muhammad Ali]] for the lineal [[World Heavyweight Champion|World Heavyweight Championship]] in Toronto. Chuvalo took the bout on 17 days' notice after Terrell withdrew due to a contract dispute. Ali defeated Chuvalo by a [[Muhammad Ali vs. George Chuvalo|15-round unanimous decision]]. "He's the toughest guy I ever fought," Ali said after the fight.

Chuvalo never got a chance to fight for the [[Commonwealth Heavyweight Champion|Commonwealth Heavyweight Championship]], which was held by [[Henry Cooper]] from 1959 to 1971.

"Henry Cooper would never take me on when he was British and Empire Champion. In his biography, he referred to me as a handful and the [[British Boxing Board of Control]] always protected him," Chuvalo said. "Also, the Canadian Boxing Federation would never take a stand on my behalf, and that remains a sore point. They were intimidated by England, which was the mother country, the leader of the Empire.”

When Chuvalo was training in England to face [[Joe Bygraves]] in 1965, he spotted Jim Wicks, Cooper’s manager, in the gym. "So I went over to him and said, 'Mr. Wicks, George Chuvalo.' He nods his head," Chuvalo recalled. "I said, 'When is Henry Cooper going to meet me in the ring?' And Wicks says to me, 'George, he doesn’t even want to meet you socially.' Wicks then laughed."

Chuvalo initially retired in 1973, but he returned to the ring in March 1977 to fight [[Bob Felstein]] for vacant Canadian Heavyweight Championship. Chuvalo knocked Felstein out in the [[George Chuvalo vs. Bob Felstein|ninth round]] to win the title for a fourth time. Chuvalo won his next two fights by knockout and then retired for good.

After Chuvalo retired from boxing, he remained in the public eye by appearing in numerous films, television shows, and commercials. His best known role was playing a barroom bully on the wrong side of an arm wrestling match with Jeff Goldblum in the 1986 movie ''The Fly''.

Chuvalo also experienced a great deal of tragedy in the years following his retirement. Three of his four sons—Jesse, Georgie Lee, and Steven—got hooked on heroin. Jesse committed suicide in 1985, and Georgie Lee died from an overdose in 1993. Shortly after Georgie Lee's death, Chuvalo's wife, Lynne, committed suicide. Three years later, Steven died from an overdose.

"I only have my oldest son alive and my only daughter, who is my fifth child," Chuvalo said in 2010. "She is still alive and my oldest son is still alive."

Chuvalo's granddaughter passed away in 2013. "She was a beautiful girl, a school teacher, who spoke three languages," Chuvalo told ''The Ring''. "In many ways, losing her almost sent me over the top. I loved her like crazy, and she had her whole life ahead of her. She was only 30 years old."

Since the deaths of his sons and wife, Chuvalo has been a tireless and inspirational anti-drug advocate and public speaker.

Chuvalo's autobiography, ''Chuvalo: A Fighter's Life'', was published in 2014.
