So, how much wood could a woodchuck....
chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood.
So if there was a contest between a woodchuck and a beaver as to how much wood they could move who would win?
Inquiring minds want to know.

They are bigger, have more meat on them, their fur is warm and coveted, indeed the demand for it helped build this nation and if that's not enough, Beaver's build dams. Let's see a chuck try that.
But then I'm biased.

I would have to say the beaver would beat a woodchuck hands (or paws as the case may be) down. Woodchucks do not actually chuck any kind of wood. They are burrowers but have been known to climb trees to escape predators.
But of course there are others who may disagree

I do recall a woodchuck that crawled and dug his way under
the fence to the garden. He settled down and ate an entire
head of cabbage. The then waddled down the row and ate
half a head of cabbage. His greedy piggy little behind came
to a sad end. He was so fat that he could not drag his belly
back under the fence -- thus caught belly full -- he met his
maker.

The question asks "...IF a woodchuck could chuck wood," which implies that woodchucks can't chuck wood, so the answer would be a beaver if we believe the assumptions of the asker. However, the asker is asking for the outcome of a hypothetical situation in which a woodchuck can chuck wood, in which case there is no reason to limit the woodchucking capabilities of this theoretical woodchucking woodchucker thus the woodchuck would win. Get it? Got it! Good.

Everyone knows that the woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could if a woodchuck could chuck wood. However, woodchucks can't chuck wood, so the beaver would win. Having said that, if a woodchuck could chuck wood, it would win because it'd chuck as much wood as it could whereas the beaver would stop once he's fulfilled whatever purpose it had for chucking wood...

I would say a beaver. They're bigger and used to moving wood for their dams.
The real question though, is how many boards would the Mongols hoard, if the Mongol hoards got bored?

Beaver. I've seen some pretty big trees felled by them critters
and beavers can get quite a bit larger than woodchucks.
Beavers also build their homes out of wood they are master carpenters.
Chucking wood is their profession.
The woodchuck is a misnamed animal in my opinion.
