Is Joe Frazier able to get McCall out of there? McCall was durable, but Frazier was relentless and definitely had enough power. Who wins this matchup?
Frazier wins due to workrate or loses by KO. I'd give Frazier a 70-30 chance to win, since McCall had big power but was light on the skills and workrate. I can't see Frazier denting this guy, sorry Classic.
Frazier wun Relentless pressure, he'd be on McCall every second. The left hook to the body and head could slow him down. Much higher work rate, Oliver often waited too long. Better at fighting inside.
Pretty much how I see it. Joe wouldn't stop him and would most likely win a decision. But Oliver could stop him if he ever got the idea to throw back,
No, it could happen a hundred times and McCall would not stop Frazier, because he'd have to sustain the fight against him. He can't mentally sustain that. Frazier would not have the stopping power to literally stop McCall's body either. But unlike the reverse, he might very well make him quit and get a TKO victory by mentally destroying Ollie's will. Oliver fought much stronger punchers but the speed, volume, power and snarling, grunting, tenacity would combine to possibly unravel him. He isn't a great temperament. His chin is just amazing. It's not fair to say because of the Lewis rematch, solely, because of the unique circumstances for him, but because of that existing and knowing what we've seen Frazier endure and keep coming, and that McCall has just been boringly dissuaded to a decision loss too, well, McCall isn't Foreman, guys. Much more likely Joe beats the dogshirt out of him and shows him who's boss the entire fight without it being vaguely close on the cards. McCall is not knocking out Joe Frazier 30% of the time. I'm very confident in that. And we can all see how much vCash I have. My opinion MATTERS. I'm...very important here.
Frazier most likely by decision. Small chance of Frazier getting a tko McCall couldn't stop Bruno or a 45 year old Holmes. He ain't stopping Joe. I don't care if Bruno is "bigger" than Frazier, he isn't more durable. And he certainly isn't as hard to hit as Frazier.
