For the past 30 years I have collected photos, posters, programs and other ephemera featuring my friend, longtime Canadian heavyweight boxing champion and world Top 10 contender George Chuvalo. He turned pro in 1956 and retired in 1979 with a record of 73-18-2 (64 KOs) — and reputation for having the greatest chin in boxing history. George was the only guy to fight the heavyweight 'Holy Trinity' of Muhammad Ali (twice), Joe Frazier and George Foreman, and in 93 bouts he was never knocked down. We've been friends since the mid-1980s and recently collaborated on the manuscript for his autobiography, which will be published in the spring of 2013 by Harper Collins (Canada). These two photos depict Chuvalo at a boxing benefit in Calgary in 2011, and in his first bout with Ali (1966). George will turn 75 in September ... but he can still throw a pretty mean left hook.
