    Surely there’d be no way this couldn’t be a great fight.

    Who wins this matchup?

    Maybe Brewster on workrate. McCall's chin might be better but he's not that active. And Brewster's chin is good enough. Hoping to land a couple of big ones on Brewster to KO him ain't gonna work.

    Brewster on points, could be close.

    No, Brewster was horrible at outpointing world level guys. McCall would win with some basic jabbing.

    Q: What is a former champion who knocked out Lennox Lewis and several other past and future champions?

    Good evidence for ranking him more favorably than Moorer.

    Based solely on the premise coming to both guys in their "primes" then I have to pick Oliver, yeah. He kinda slepwalked most of his fights but on the rare occasion he'd come out of his trance and really light it up. Good jab, good right hand, good combinations as well. The Damiani fight is a pretty tough showcase from him but unfortunately comes with an * because Francesco isn't in shape there.
