Reply to comment by MightGuy420x in TIL that retired pro boxer George Chuvalo was never knocked down in his 93 bout professional career. Which included fights against Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, and George Foreman. by MightGuy420x

I met Chuvalo. He spoken in front of our class and told us his story. He mentioned after his fight with Muhammed Ali, who had to go to the hospital, that he went dancing with his wife. Also he has had a lot of tradegy in his life. I believe something along the lines of his son and then shortly after his wife overdosing on pills. It was such a tragic story to hear about I Remember.

Came here to say the same. He told us his story. It was really heart wrenching to hear about family member after family member overdosing.

Here's his wiki

I think he was big on the school tours in the 90s and 00s. Which was great, I remember him at our HS.
