    I bet he couldn't beat George Foreman. I got a poster of George Foreman in my room. Nobody better say anything bad about him. I`ll come unhinged.

    A great Chin tends to get the better of excellent power.

    McCall himself admits to hitting the deck half a dozen times against Tyson. But Tyson had a different power to Wilder. Wilder is an awesome one punch clubbing type power. Tyson was more speed and placement.

    A focused primed McCall should get the job done by the middle/late rounds.

    I think you are probably overestimating Wilder's power,but I wouldn't want him landing on my chin.

    I don't, McCall would be flat on his back if he allowed Wilder to tee-off on him like he did Lewis.

    But it took him 9 to knock out Ortiz. Couldn't see Lewis, Foreman, Dempsey, or any other notable punchers taking that long.

    In this thread - People seriously overestimating the power of the current heavyweight of the month because of an exceedingly misleading knockout record aided by careful match making.

    We also seemingly don't need to mention that he's been in something like 5 wild shoot outs already in his career where he's been wobbled or dropped, despite his mediocre competition.

    Whereas most other fighters have been flattened by now, Wilder hits like a Mule.

    That would be a very good response if Ortiz had fought anyone that was good. Just because a fighter goes without getting knocked out for 28 fights doesn't mean they have a good chin. Morrison went his first 28 fights undefeated before getting shattered by Mercer.

    I think it's clear to see Ortiz is made of stronger stuff, he was in with a dynamite puncher and did well to take those shots.

    But wouldn't it only be logical to say he has a good chin if he went the distance taking those bombs? Instead of succumbing to them? I'm not making the argument that he in any way has a bad chin, I consider it average.
