George Foreman interview before the fight ....
Date: 1970-08-04
Location: Madison Square Garden, New York, New York, USA
Referee: Arthur Mercante
Foreman’s strengths: Sheer physical strength. Raw power. Hunger and desire.
Foreman’s weaknesses: Inexperience. Rawness and tendency to throw wild, clumsy punches. Suspect stamina.
Chuvalo’s strenghts: Incredible chin. Vast experience. Heart and guts.
Chuvalo’s weaknesses: Easy to hit. Past his best and now at “gate keeper” level. Age, at 32, some 11 years older than Foreman.
So what happened when the two greats ran smack, bang into each other? The opening round saw a fast pace set, with the bigger Foreman pumping out his at times ungainly yet almost always effective left jab, followed by some stiff right hands. Chuvalo dug in some quite brutal body work, his left hand his most effective weapon. It was a lively opening session.
By the 2nd, Chuvalo’s left eye was swelling fast. Foreman missed quite a few shots, his wild-swinging approach showing he was by far the finished article (the young Foremn would in fact never become a polished fighter) and leaving him terribly off-balance. Chuvalo, though, was for the most part being pushed and shoved, not to mention punched, around the ring.
Foreman cracked Chuvalo with a monster left hand to the head in the early going of the third-round and the legs of the older George dipped. Foreman, not looking at letting his man off the hook or in pacing himself, went down to the body himself, his rights slamming into Chuvalo’s ribs. Foreman then moved Chuavlo into another corner, where he proceeded to continue banging away. The unimaginably tough Chuvalo was doing his level best to block punches, make Foreman miss and even fire back, yet manager Irv Ungerman had seen enough and seconds later so had referee Arthur Mercante.
“What the f*** are you doing!” bellowed a battered but still upright and with it Chuvalo when Mercante ended matters. To the recent day (before the beloved Canadian icon began suffering from serious cognitive problems) Chuvalo has insisted to each and all that the fight was stopped too soon. Chuvalo insisted how almost all of Foreman’s punches failed to detonate on their desired target and that “Big George” was getting tired and was breathing heavily.
“I honestly think I had him, that I would have knocked him out in the later rounds,” Chuvalo told Ring Magazine in a 2014 feature.
But would he have done so?
Josh Warrington's Gamble Failed And Mexico Has A New Star In Mauricio Lara
Sure, plenty of Foreman’s shots were way off the mark, and we all know the young Foreman had nothing approaching an endless spring in terms of stamina. But Chuvalo was trapped in a corner, Foreman was teeing off on him and, crucially, Chuvalo was not throwing enough back - just three shots launched after being hurt by the initial left hand bomb.
Looking back at the fight that wasn’t really that much of a big, big deal at the time - fans not knowing they were watching two of the most amazing heavyweights of the 20th century being matched together - it seems a very tough warrior with a reputation for being, as Ring Mag put it, “bulletproof,” was saved from himself; first by Ungerman and then by Mercante.
Still, to this day, if you catch him at the right time, Chuvalo will argue with you and convince you that he “had Foreman,” that it was a premature job on the part of Mercante (who may or may not have heard or seen Ungerman during those crucial seconds).
What we can all agree on is this: George Chuvalo, who never went down in ANY fight, had the most astonishing heavyweight chin you could point a finger at. I’m sure George Foreman, no slouch himself at being able to take a hit (in his “second coming” especially) would agree.
Foreman, 21-0(18) Vs. Chuvalo, 59-15-2(51).

I can’t imagine too many nightmares being worse than facing a 21 year old George Foreman.
Mike Tyson?
@ james jackson, I was actually thinking that when I put this up. The thought of both of them fighting each other at the age of 21 is too much to comprehend.
@@BazookaToe . Big George is my favorite Heavyweight of all time
@@jamesjackson8058, mine too. Cheers.
@@jamesjackson8058 foreman would destroy Tyson
George Chuvalo has that Jake Lamotta mentality. Very proud of his toughness and they take tremendous pride in never being knocked down.
Jake LaMotta was knocked down.
@@googlemyself4091 Yeah at the latter stage of his career when his once famed spirit and his pride had dwindled.
Also smart. He shielded himself from George's right even when he was in trouble. By turning his body.
@@cockoffgewgle4993 Yeah he was smart enough to shield himself I give him credit for that. But I wish he also added some lateral movement in there so George didn't plant his feet. I know George wasn't renowned as a mover. But if he just incorporated even minimal movement he might have had more success in this fight.
@@LittleJacob208 Chuvalo was never knocked down but if this fight had not been stopped he would have either been knocked down or is head would have been knocked off!
Chuvalo was a tough cookie.. believe his final professional record was 73-18-2 (63 by KO) having fought some of the toughest fighters from 1956 through to 1978. Well done George.
Proud Canadian and advocate against drugs and suicides.
That was THE Golden Age of Heavyweights...was Chuvalo ever knocked down.
Yep
And never won a world championship
Ali threw over 💯 punches and landed just about 100 in round 15 1966 vs chuvalo
And Never Been Knocked Out!
Foreman was a monster, his left jab like a wreckingball.
This was the battle of the Georges. The very tough chuvalo was way past his prime and even his prime was mishandled by bad management. I met Chuvalo in Akron, Ohio after the Wipperman fight. What a gentleman and nice guy. But, it was a good thing that he fought Foreman as an older fighter. A young Chuvalo would have withstood a lot more punches and may have been seriously hurt. Foreman's power was incredible and his boxing skills are UNDERRATED. Two very classy guys!
Chuvalo said to the ref: what are you, nuts?
Foreman might actually have been a better fighter before he became champion.
Very well explained.
@@davidbrandel1311 Agreed. KOs came easy to him versus Frazier and Norton. His form suffered greatly. Foreman actually looks really good here against an 'over the hill' Chavalo. God jab, foot work, body work, kept his punches nice and tight.
He became flat footed, arching wide punches, jab became a pawing substitute, didn't show any type of defense.
IF this version of Foreman had gone to Zaire would Ali still have beaten him?
@@jeffmejia111 Ali used that pawing motion against Foreman to great effect by timing it and shooting straight rights at the precise moment Foreman did it. It might be why Ali won the fight as Foreman ate a lot of those rights. Everybody remembers the rope a dope but no one seems to recall that Ali beat him to the punch all night. I’ve never boxed so I can’t speak from experience but it seems to me that the better boxers look for “tells” that they can exploit. And it may well be that Foreman’s pawing jab was a tell that indicated to Ali that he could slam home a straight right over that jab. No one had ever had the audacity to do that to Foreman before as Ali was probably the first opponent that didn’t buy into the myth of George’s so called invincibility.
George Chuvalo should get more recognition as a great Canadian hero
I agree as I am Canadian, but our country doesnt give a shit about its hero's only in politically correct endeavors. I wish I was an American.
Young George wasn’t a gentle pastor, or smiling grill salesman. He was a tank.
A veritable human battering ram!
He was like 2 different people. Young and serious, then George became a gentleman giant selling that grill.
Hell, he was tank as an old man too, but I see your point.
Back then Foreman was trained by Dick Sadler of Hayward, Cailfornia. Sadler trained Foreman all the way up to the Ali fight. Sadler was a old school trainer who had also trained Sonny Liston and Charley Shipes. Sadler did a good job with Foreman and deserves credit for bringing George to the championship.
Archie Moore trained and taught George as well.
Is this Saddler the same Sandy Saddler...? The old "Assassine of Boston"?
Doc Broadus Archie Moore and Dick Saddler...
@@eduven100 he said dick sadler
@@eduven100 No, Dick and Sandy were cousins, although Dick dropped a d from his surname. Look at Foreman's corner in Zaire and you'll see them both, along with Archie Moore.
YOUNG GEORGE WAS SCARY!CHUVALO WAS VERY TOUGH INDEED!🥊🥊🥊
George Chuvalo was never knocked down in 93 professional fights. This is perhaps the greatest accomplishment in sports history.
Mayweather never went down in 50 fight's and was never close to getting hit
@@dpimpanell7636 well there was that time Zab Judah nailed Mayweather with a right hook...Mayweather wobbled back a few feet and his glove touched the mat - which IS a knockdown, but Richard Steele let it go!
@@hyzeronhisrizer both gloves must touch the canvas
@@dpimpanell7636 Sorry but that is incorrect. If any part of a boxer, other than their feet, touches the canvas it is scored as a knockdown. I have seen refs NOT call it a knockdown when the boxer is clearly "clowning around."
@@hyzeronhisrizer my friend I boxed for 30 years from 81 to 90 I think I know the rules
George Foreman was always a class act,
8 ounce gloves awesome
Not really he talked about wantin to kill his opponents more than once.
@@chuckemeade He also admitted to hitting women.
@@AnthonyJ74 Yes he did, and while I don't condone it there may be times a woman may need to be hit.
The immense power of Foreman is evident at 2:20 when he flung Chuvalo aside like he weighed nothing
Chuvalo fought some strong fighters and never left his feet. He was never knocked down his entire career. Very tough guy.
He would have been knocked cold had this fight been allowed to continue!!!
@@leonardcharles59 Foreman said he was glad they stopped it, because Chuvallo was a hell of a lot better, than his trainers had told him. He said he had one of the hardest jabs he ever felt, and that Chuvallo was so mad that he wanted to fight him in the parking lot afterward. Foreman declined.
Chuvalo Was The Toughest Cat I've Ever Seen! He'll Take A Helluva Beating, But Was Never Knocked Off His Feet! And For Him To Withstand Big George's Punishment, Shows Just How Tough He Was!!! 🥊
True, but one more minute in this fight and Chuvalo would have been in a coma.
@@steverakes6182
At very least...a coma.
@@steverakes6182 Chuvalo said it was nothing he couldn't take. He even challenged Foreman to a fight outside after they stopped it. Even Foreman said he never knocked Chuvalo out. Foreman was mad at his own cornermen for telling him that Chuvalo was going to be an easy fight for him.
@@HorseRaceHandicrapper It WAS an easy fight for him; did yiou not WATCH it?
George Foreman was a beast!
8oz gloves with Foreman at the other end. Forget that....
Yep
I was just thinking the same thing. Fuck that.
In fact, they changed to 10 oz gloves BECAUSE of George Foreman!.
That was a perfect hook that he hit Chuvalo with. It's a miracle that he wasn't out cold. Foreman was a super puncher!
George was slim and muscular back then. He was not quite at the peak of his punching power, that would come in a couple of years.
Chuvalo thought that Foreman had punched himself out before the stoppage
He had a meeting with Ali before the Zaire fight and gave Ali advise on Foreman
He told Ali that George was getting tired and could beat him if he avoids taking big shots in the danger areas of the face and body.
Some slick footwork and quick movement here from George, which he wasn't exactly known for later in his career.
Which one 👀
I think that this version of Foreman would've fared quite well against Ali.
Looked strangely different didn't it.
@@robertdecker146 Yea, Foreman was throwing some really good straights in this fight. His punches looked snappy compared to his usual more thudding shots, and he was moving on his feet in comparison to his usual plodding footwork. I agree that this version of Foreman would have done much better against Ali, and even if he didn't beat Ali, he would have at least went the distance.
Never seen this before. George Forman came out of his corner All Guns Blazing - A terrifying sight!
Shows you just how hard foreman hit , Chuvalo was hard as iron
Fight was stopped too early..Chuvalo wasn’t hurt
@@jayedwards1205 True the fight was rigged. Chuvalo only faking hurt and the ref had to stop the fight smh.
No...Chuvalo just wasn’t hurt
Hey Jay, you felt those punches Chuvalo got hit with?
Hard as iron?? And got stopped in the 3rd round?? Get a grip
George Chuvalo is a underrated fighter. The man was ducking and slipping punches as well as parrying George Foreman punches.
Just before Foreman almost killed him in the ring!
Nope...Chuvalo wasn’t even hurt
@@jayedwards1205 I mean he was blocking and dodging against the punches that would of definitely put him down the rest he probably took on the chin...Get it?
Chuvalo wasn’t hurt ...he thought the ref was nuts for stopping the fight
I love Chuvalo but what fight was you watching ( Chuvalo ducking and slipping punches)
Chuvalo lives in Canada. Amazingly he has no slur in his speech and a clear head.
Not anymore. His family is actually fighting over his estate because he has dementia. He's been out of public for at least five years now.
@@timcartwright4679 2 of his sons were killed. I saw a documentary about guys that fought Ali. Not much more than 10 years old and Chuvalo sounded okay. But I guess it catches up to you.
@@ronniecozzi8385 84 years old will do that. He has had his head looked at and doctors could not see any signs he was a fighter. He has been going down hill since he got in his 80's but thats the way she goes. The documentary you watched was called the last round and it is from 2006 I believe.
Chuvalo has no cognitive or any other brain injury from fighting. He continues to this day to tour Canada giving drug talks as he lost 2 sons to drugs and his first wife committed suicide because of it. One real tough SOB: Physically and Mentally. Still in reasonable shape for his age. But trust me he's as sharp as a tack
Are you on crack cocaine?..He is in hospice care in Toronto Canada. Get your facts straight..He cant talk or anything!
Chuvalo has a Very large head, the bones are constructed of reinforced concrete, that's how he blocks punches with his face
Frazier was also good in blocking punches with his face.
@@danielhkhk7283 He didn't have to against guys like Chuvalo. Besides, Frazier was a world champion and all time great whereas Chuvalo is a journeyman whose claim to FAME is blocking punches with his face and staying upright.
Dam, that jab was like a sledgehammer. As tough as Chuvalo was, Foreman would definitely had knocked out Chuvalo as the fight progressed. I know Chuvalo was saying that Foreman was gassing out , but George wasn't missing anymore. He found his target. One or two more rounds of that type of beating, it would have been a wrap.
Foreman had no stamina ...none
You are right forman had no stamina, but especially against Mohammad Ali, he was worse because Ali had a strategy and made Forman miss his punches, and mesmerized him so bad that he ran out of Gas, and the rest is history.
Dennis Reyes yeah probably right if Foreman did not gas out, as tough as Chuvalo was those punches were bombs - it would take a few more rounds to drop Chuvalo though because his chin was really that strong.
Foreman copied his jab off of Sonny Liston. Sonny's jab was a power jab too. George trained with Sonny and learned a lot.
@@jayedwards1205 Are you referring to hit resistance or stamina-type resistance?
No wonder that George Chuvalo had the nickname "Iron Head".
Never heard that one before here in Canada.
What? Study up Werner
George Chuvalo is a tough customer. Love his style.
Never noticed before, Foreman's jab was quick.
Big George put on weight later and his speed dropped. But he added a couple of sticks of Dynamite to his fists instead!!
@@SurendranNambiath Wrong. His speed improved. Especially against Joe Frazier. Foreman being slow was a Myth created by My favorite fighter Ali.
@@thespy7795 You are talking about Foreman right? My Fab Four include Liston, Foreman, the G.O.A.T. and Jack Johnson! And The Gypsy King Tyson Fury, from today's generation!
Frazier doesn't find a place. Not after "Down Goes Frazier! Down Goes Frazier! Down Goes Frazier!"!! 😃
@@SurendranNambiath Tyson Fury? Wouldn't stand a chance against the likes of the 60's and 70's fighters and add M. Tyson to that list.
@@mstrunn I'm not saying Tyson Fury could have won or would have lost against any of these Champs. Is that what you made of my post?
I'm merely listing my Fab Four and saying I like Tyson Fury too!!
The two Georges, along with Ernie Shavers and Joe Bugner are the only ones left from that age of Titans!
Chuvalo never went down though, real tough guy.
Quality of interview pieces' pics are 10 times better than fight's itself! It's crazy.
Chuvalo gave Ali the blueprint for creating the Rope-A-Dope. He told Ali that Foreman has a tendency to lose steam on his punches and tires himself out.
I love this channel
George was ok in this fight he said his wife was screaming at the ref to stop it.forman was about to be tired later on.but will never know.i think Forman would of broke bits of his face without knocking him down.tbus guy also fought Frazier and ali without being knocked down. He also had fight of the year with Floyd Paterson I think.
My absolute Favorite Boxer Big George Foreman !!!!!
George was tough no one can deny that a tougher man there isn't
It must be a George thing. Both these guys are well spoken to this day and both were as tough as teak in their ring careers.
Both of these Men have excellent chins and still can complete a sentence !!!!!
INCORRECT. Chuvalo has dementia and is in hospice care in Toronto. He IS PAYING for all those head shots.
Thanks for the video, BOXING LEGENDS
Thank you for watching
Thank you for showing this. I had never seen it before until now.
Chuvalo was 12 years older than 21 year old foreman not in his prime and still gave foreman a good fight
What 2 great George's love em both
Foreman was a frigging scary sob in his prime
one of the greatest croatian boxer ever
Chuvalo was a smaller man with short arms , but he did waaay better then Frazier ..he got in some great connections...for a Candian boxer I take my hat of for him
love to hear don dunphy call fights.
Great Toronto Ontario Canada legend,
Foreman’s wide looping body shots were frightening
back in the day seeing Forman's bulk was amazing and scary
Pensè que esa epoca FOREMAN hubiera dado una entrevista mostrando que era un patan engreido. Muy buena respuesta de Foreman al periodista.
Forget the fight. Chuvalo's comb over is the real winner here. It's hard af.
LOL... I didn't want to laugh... But I did obviously
@@RoRockerB, it was your patriotic duty, champ. Cheers.
Foreman couldn’t miss with those jabs. A Foreman jab is like taking a 2x4 to the face.
Chavalo was tough as nails. He also had an amazing tough chin. Very strong and hard puncher. not quick enough and didn't have long reach- these were his problems. In his fights with Frazier and Ali- they usually would beat him to the punch.
Imagine having George Foreman use your face as a speed bag...
George looks relatively sprightly in this fight
Simon Ross He never showed as much movement again. Yet even here you can see how his technique keeps breaking down, as he slings many of his punches instead of putting the shoulder into it. With his power, when he did punch correctly the effects were frequently devastating. Still, he lacked the coordination of a Louis or Ali.
Which George 😂
I always liked Chuvalo. One tough SOB!!! NOW......Anyone who thinks that the 1990s Foreman was no quicker than this version needs a serious eye exam. George is obviously much quicker at 21 than he was at 41. His power would be greater then, too, because of the youthful muscles, and when those power punches landed, they also came faster. Higher velocity, higher power level=Ohh SHIT!!!
Yea, plus young Foreman had that killer mentality. He would throw every punch with bad intentions and just tee off on his opponents until they were unconscious. You can tell he wanted to seriously hurt his opponents. Old George became a lot more aware. He would still knock his opponents out, but you can tell he didn't want to seriously injure anyone. He'd throw more 1-2s and jabs, and sometimes he'd plead with the ref to stop the fights before he hurts his opponents.
No question.
The hardest puncher ever vs. the hardest head ever!
I am surprised this guy was standing or alive after that last 30 seconds or so! They should do a video of if any boxers were permanently mentally messed up by getting clocked by George. A before and after George video.
Chuvalo one tough cookie
lots of courage
He got battered.
@@giantsquid8256 yeah he did but the likes of you would not have lasted 5 seconds
@@michaelgaskell2031 nor would you. Considering I was only a school boy ametuer with 6 fights and was at light welterweight.
@@giantsquid8256 heard it all before. When 2 men get in the ring ultimately respect between them. Yes I did a bit as well. But would rather talk and relax in my old age
The quality of this video I would liken to those peepshow loops of the 1950s.
Both Ali and Foreman stated in interviews that Chuvalo was the hardest puncher they faced!
Great fight
Brutal!!!
2:28 this is wrong info - Chuvalo had never been KO'D
TKO'd but never properly knocked out no!
He was never knocked down. This fight may have been labeled a tko but really it is a rsc referee stops contest.
here Chuvalo is the hardest punching bag .
i like these old time sports announcers, nothing but junk today
It's annoying when both fighters are still on their feet and the ref stops it anyway.
I'm glad the ref stopped it, Chuvalo was going to stay up until he was brain dead. I give props to any fighter getting into the ring with a young Foreman.
I don't know how that God took all of those hard conscience without even going down
And remember those are punches from the hardest-hitting heavyweight that ever lace them up big George Foreman
His record speaks for itself
Foreman the goat 🤗
21 years old foreman was moving good. If Chuvalo could have moved out of range, foreman may have ran out of gas in the next round.
Foreman shoved Chuvalo with one arm he was a beast.
that's how ali beat foreman, Ali manhandled foreman exactly the way foreman treated chuvalo. that's the first shock foreman got from ali fight, immediately sent the message to foreman that he's fighting a different boxer.
At 2:28 it says that Frazier knocked Chuvalo out, wrong! He stopped him.
George Foreman always had a thundering jab, but as can be seen in this fight his right can be a little sloppy and clubbing. Had George straightened that punch out Chevalo would have fallen much sooner. Kudo's to George Chivalo for being a tough fighter of good standing and merit.
IIRC Chuvalo hold the most main event at MSG
Chuvalo had the best chin in boxing history. Its between him and La Motta.
And Jerry Quarry.
It's between chuvalo and nobody
Don't forget Jerry Quarry
No, he didn't he got hurt with punches and got TKO'd. Ali had the Best Chin Boxing. Chuvalo simply Never went down. Many fighters never went down.
When George ran OVER Chuvalo.....
My prediction came true. George won.
George Chuvalo best chin in boxing history.
No, he didn't. He had great will, but not the best chin. He never went down, but that is due to great balance. As for Best Chin, that distinction goes to Ali.
Foreman appeared to not like shots to the body. I would have given him a steady diet of it, large portions and seconds, notwithstanding. Then again, Chuvalo WAS standing, yet out on his feet...
Foreman was really vulnerable to left hooks to the body in round one; again and again.
Didnt bother him much.
Chavalo was a tough customer.
Friggin Irv ungerman..knew jack shit about boxing..if only chuvalo had proper backing
Every fighter had a plan up against big George Foreman, unless your name is Ali they never worked. Foreman's strength is more that of an NFL linebacker, always coming after the quarterback with no holds barred looking to tear someone's head off. In a few years he is in tip top shape and never stronger when he destroys smokin Joe Fraizer inside two rounds, unthinkable the time. Awesome puncher.
Jimmy young beat foreman
Jimmy young plan worked. George had trouble with slick counter punches...until second career. Chuvalo so strong.. white guys just bleed and swell much faster than anyone else. I like announcer.

Staggered certainly..knock down ? Get real
George was constantly stripped of the Canadian Title because no challengers. The British didn't want him to fight their boys either
Foreman the only guy to stagger chuvalo
More like 'ran OVER.' All respect to the great George Chuvalo - he's on Olympus. But Big George Foreman is at the summit with Ali and Tyson. Bless all these fine fellows - and on to a world in which greats such as these don't have to hit and be hit to succeed!

big George was a lot faster than he got credit for.
Because Ali called him Slow, everybody picked up on that. George had a FAST jab and was ANYTHING but Slow!
@@thespy7795 When he used the jab, if he had jabbed more against Holyfield he would have won, his corner screamed at him to use it but you couldn't tell George anything, he was his own man.
chuvalo fought foreman way better than frazier and nortan
Chuvalo's manager had no business getting this fight, at this stage of Chuvalo's career, with a up and coming George Foreman. That said, despite Chuvalo being over 10-years older than Foreman, he gave a good account of himself for two rounds before the tko stoppage in the 3rd. A 20-something Chuvalo would have made this one heck of a fight! Foreman could not put an aging Chuvalo down.
Chuvalo absorbed the pain and punishment that his wife and two sons felt.
Count the left jabs to Chuvalo's head Chuvalo did not have an answer to the reach advantage, so it seems.
well, whenever chuvalo tried to close the distance foreman just threw perfect jabs directly to his chin.
Chuvalo must have one of top chins ever.
None better
Look again... Forman caused chuvalo coma. Chuvalo was on his way to kiss the canvass when the ref held him up & stopped the fight. In fact chuvalo was knocked down. Chuvalo wld never have gotten up from that barage of Forman sledgehammering. The fact chuvalo was saved by the ref & also by the rope. Technically chuvalo was good as drop dead.
