George Chuvalo,........ 70 years old today,... Happy Birthday George,
........never knoced down ,throughout his career,..Even Ali said George was tougher than Liston & Patterson,.......... Although Ali beat the crap out of Chuvalo for 15 rounds in 1966,...........He couldn't knock him off his feet,
but Mr Chuvalo would go on to live his life the sameway,.he had a lot of tragic events ,try to take him down too,.....but he managed to keep his head up ,.& carry on....... (two sons lost to drugs,.....one son to suicide,.then his wife to suicide),....and yet he carry's on delivering a message to kids ,not to get involved with drugs,.etc etc
He has garnered the respect of his Boxing Peers,.....as well as that of many people,............ Hope he's enjoying some easier or happier days ,.
Happy 70th George,.................... HF&RV

Les, I feel like playing the devil's advocate here. The story of George Chuvalo and The Hiltons here in Montreal turned dramatic. The boxing world is not necessarily the best place to bring up a family, on the contrary and I don't think we should make heroes out of these boxers although I admit to being a boxing fan. Only psychologists can really explain the situation but it is obvious that there are grave problems in the industry. Just thought I would put in my 2 cents. Guy
