      While one of the interviewers was asking a question, and he was mockingly flapping his mouth... He seems about as annoying as any 21 year old. He is naturally very charming of course, but Ali at 21 was still very clearly a brat.

    Chuvalo said: I'll never kiss the canvas. After the fight he lost against Ali, the same night he went on a dinner with his wife and Ali to a hospital due to internal bleeding.
    Ali said in a interview that he was his toughest opponent ever.

    After it's my time,
    What I'd like to be remembered is,
    He took a few cups of Luv
    One table spoon of patience
    One teaspoon of generosity
    One pint of Kindness,
    One pinch of Laughter.
    He mixed it all together
    with a loyal loving heart.

It worked to publicise his fights and to incite his aponents so they would lose their cool in the ring. In '63, he was still developing that persona .

    That was a TOUGH Fight. Ali's Amazing footwork and weapon punching is sooooo freaking crazy to watch. He makes all his fights look like Movies. Chuvalo on the other hand is tougher than stones. I don't think he stumbled once thru the whole fight. Ali was letting him punch him in the body too which is why he took so much punishment by pissing blood. Damaged kidneys.

      I must admit Ali was the greatest but he never knocked down chuvalo. He said George was his toughest opponent and if there was ever a comedy act it would be you you jerk because I am also a proud Canadian.
