    McCall's post fight interview after he beat Lewis was my favorite post fight interview I ever recall watching.

    Lewis after Tua is a distant second.

    Someone can do the math, but I'm pretty sure McCall has had the longest career of any boxer ever. For former world champions I think this is true but also all pro boxers unless I'm forgetting someone

    Jack Johnson fought 33 years (and Google's AI Overview still erroneously lists him as having the longest pro career of any HW champ even though McCall already passed him several years ago). Ruby Rob fought 31. Over three decades is rare. McCall's about to hit four.

    Sail Mamby had McCall beat for World Champion, but McCall just passed him with his latest activity

    1969 until 2008 is such a surreal time for somebody to have been competing (somehow moreso than McCall's now greater 1985 until 2005).

    It encompasses from when my mom was a kindergartener to just a few years before my son @LilButt was born. Or - in more universally relatable terms - from the Apollo 11 mission until Obama winning the presidency. :sisi1

    Also, every time I hear the name of the late Saoul Mamby (RIP, btw), I remember the scene in The Fighter with prime smokeshow Amy Adams quipping "Saoul Mamby, the hell kinda name is that??" and Marky Mark as Micky Ward shrugging "black 'n' Jewish", which for some reason I've always found hilarious.

    I used to think the same way about Duran, turned pro in 1968 and I would read about him boxing in 2001, it was surreal

    A little over 48 hours now until McCall smashes Carlos Reyes and gets called out by Shannon Briggs in a moment of "spontaneous" mayhem.

    He is still a hard puncher I have no doubt that he can beat currently Mike Tyson and even Jack Paul.

    My concern is if McCall somehow got sat down for the first time ever let alone worse - shame to have such a record broken.

    At his age, resilience can go, just like that - it happened to Tex Cobb at a much younger age - so shocking that people thought the fix was in but per accounts (never seen film if it even exists), it seems that it was legit….

    I can't believe there are athletic commissions in any civilised country that are willing to sanction him; if the worst happens (and I hope it doesn't), I hope those who signed off are held responsible.
