Reply to comment by knightslider11 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
Vs Foreman, he took what appeared to be close to 50+ punches (many of them flush on the face). His manager was begging the referee to stop the fight. But, at no point did Chuvalo look to be in danger of going down. It did seem like you were watching a man severely damaging his brain because he took so many vicious blows to the head.
In the Frazier fight, it’s not the same pummeling. But, Frazier has methodically worked on the cut over his left eye, and Chuvalo can’t see out of it at the end (he seems to not know where Frazier is for a moment when the ref stops the fight).
