Mr. Chuvalo, one of the toughest pricks ever was awarded the Order of Ontario tonight, the highest provincial civilian award we have.
My Father saw him Fight Ali the 1st time, which Ali won by decision.
Ali fought Chuvalo's Twice and has said Chuvalo's Head was the "Hardest Thing I've ever hit" and that Chuvalo was the "toughest guy I ever fought". :boxing:
Chuvalo was an absolute beast, 93 Pro Fights including scraps against Ali, Frazier and Foreman and was NEVER knocked down in his entire Career. He's also a big Car guy and was a fixture at most of the major Car Shows in Toronto and remained a very nice man despite some real family tragedy in his life.
It's nice that at 85 years old now, he is getting even more recognition. :canada:
