    The McCall who slept Lennox Lewis vs prime Joe Frazier. What if McCall caught Frazier flush with that right hand? Plus, how would McCall's chin hold up against Fraizer's relentless assault if he can't stop Fraizer early?

    McCall can certainly drop Frazier, but he was slow and his workrate wasn't impressive.

    I pick Joe by decision

    Joe would grind out a decision win. McCalls chin was granite but he'd be sore after this one.

    Frazier too relentless for McCall. McCall iron chin ensure no knockdowns
    but Joe would administer a brutal beating in near shut out dec.

    Prime Frazier made the fastest heavy in the history of game miss a ton punches in a very fast paced fight for big men. McCall would need to jump on Frazier early before he can start timing and making him miss his big punches. If Frazier got past the 5th rd, he'd slowly grind McCall down , win a dec in a 12 rd fight, in a 15 rd fight referee probably stops the fight .Late tko for Frazier.

    Absoltely. Frazier too busy & fast, McCall not a big enough puncher to stop him.

    But McCall would not fall.
    73 fights & 3-- + rpunds sparring with Tyson without ever being down.
    Despite breaks with problems with ddrug addiction, & fighting until near 50.
    Stopping the concrete chinned Chivalo was on a freak injury.

    Called thye Atomic Bull for his straight ahread style, he was not some sort of defensive wizard.
    but it would take an Atomic Bomb to drop the Atomic Bull.

    Since the HWs take the biggest punches, I have McCall as the #1 chin in history.

    Frazier in 6 or less the pressure Frazier put on him in the sixth round would be to much brutal body attack followed by left hook to the chin and it's over McCall is laid out in the middle of the ring
