This guy's like a walking, talking history book. A 'very interesting guy to listen to and watch. Long live Chuvalo!

[teleman84]

No Chuvalo isnt drunk.However you might be.Those guys from the 60s and 70s would have steam-rolled right over these pansy Heavyweights of today.Chuvalo is very articulate...esp for a boxer.He was a VERY TOUGH DUDE

Joe Frazier would definitely beat the Klitschkos, he'd eat a lot of shots the way Lamon Brewster did in his first fight with Wladimir, but in the end, he'd roll over them in the exact same manner... Props to Brewster for having the heart and courage to face and defeat a great fighter like Wladimir Klitschko...

@mrcsirron Just watch the fights of the Klitschko's. If Wladimir faces a tall guy with some reflexes and power just like Corrie Sanders, he gets beaten to a pulp. He ducked Corrie for a rematch and let his brother do the work. Vitali, on the other hand, is a good champion. He has a good chin and power. I doubt if he has that much heart, because he stopped against Byrd for a shoulder injury while Ali fought 8 rounds with a broken jaw. They would have been no match for Ali and other ATG

@michaelyouth i cant understand people like you who say the klitschko's have no heart, stamina, quickness ect but don't give any evidence to back it up. WTF. the klitschkos would ahve been more then a match for any heavyweight in history.

@michaelyouth you did not any point....

[michaelyouth]

@combatesdeboxeo Haha. Stop commenting so much man. I'm not going to read it all. All I can say is that you are crazy if you think these Klitschko's are really that great. Ali in his prime would take them out. Tyson would too. Frazier would. Why do you think they are so great?

They lack heart, one of them has no chin, no footwork, no speed, not even great stamina, they are slow, no quickness, throwing not that many jabs or punches.. They are just big, that is there advantage.

[combatesdeboxeo]

@michaelyouth you can watch the films of a past prime tyson 2003 when he was heavier than he was in his prime, in 2003 tyson weighed 230 pounds and it was a vitali in shape 240-45 pounds, and tyson looked like a gnomo next to vitali, the difference of size was brutal!!!IMAGINE A 217 POUNDER PRIME TYSON, AND YES IT IS A FACTOR WHEN IT IS A VERY GOOD FIGHTER VS A GREAT FIGHTER, IT IS NOT A BUM LIKE WILLARD VS DEMPSEY.

@michaelyouth what about mike tyson... prime tyson could not ko people like james smith,tonny tucker or james tillis... the tyson fans who says" prime tyson would destroy vitali" they are nuts... prime tyson with roney had the skill,the speed ,the aggression and the combinations to gat a decision, but ko? well actually i think that a ko by vitali is much more probable than a ko by tyson

@michaelyouth evander holyfield? (read the part of holmes), evander was a natural cruiser and bowe did show the motive because the weight classes, evander was greater but honestly i think that he would be annulled by the physique of these giants with skill,hitting power and strength.

a peak riddick bowe with eddie in his corner could well beat both klitschko.

[combatesdeboxeo]

@michaelyouth lennox lewis would have always the hell with vitali, styles make fights, but i could give the edge to lewis, but it would be very close, larry holmes? of course he had the heart,the class, the jab,the skill... but he did not have the size or the strength, the had tons of problems like tim witherspoon, prime holmes weighed barely 208-211 pounds and he never had the footwork of a primeali to avoid the klitschko brothers, h2h it is about styles not about who is greater

[combatesdeboxeo]

@michaelyouth only a very fast (with hands), very skilled 200 pounder like joe louis COULD KO WLADIMIR, and he could hurt vitali and he could win by ud, only a prime very fast ali 64-67 who was fast like hell could beat these skilled giants, only a fucking aggressive big animal with sturdy chin like a peak george foreman could stop these skilled giants, honestly? basing on the styles, i can´t see joe frazier,rocky or dempsey beating the klitschko brothers,
