"George Foreman also smashed George Chuvalo to pieces..." Yup. He did. But, come on now, 31 years old to 21 years old. 3 inches shorter and far less reach. You get wrapped and punched (Foreman got warned) and get punched in the back of the head on a break and get head butted (my old man went nuts when he saw that; he was a boxer of note back in the day*) and get pushed in the forehead at arms length and... I think Chuvalo did well that night too given what he was up against. But, thank Dog the ref stopped the fight because, well, Chevalo is still alive. The ref didn't even see Chuvalo's manager in the ring trying to stop the fight.

As far as heavyweights, Foreman was simply a big guy and VERY strong. Never thought much of his boxing skills. Ali, Larry Holmes and Lennox Lewis and the like... those were the guys I liked to watch before I gave up watching boxing. And, of course, Teófilo Stevenson... man, he was a joy to watch. That's heavyweights. Pound for pound, Roberto Duran.

In any case, years ago, I became "adverse" to the fine art of pugilism. And, now, even the thought that UFC exists sickens me.
