Would Mcall be able to hang with a prime Tyson?

I think so too...it should be remembered that Lewis did not toss bombs at McCall as Ollie was walking around weeping, and he could have, hell, Tyson and Holyfield would have, and no one would have thought a thing about it. Lewis could have killed McCall in that rematch. Lewis was a cool guy..very much in control of himself, and this was interpreted as "too cautious" by many of his critics, unjustly.

 

Good stuff, I would have liked to be in on those sessions. I never got to see him spar at his best, but I heard he was a beast on his sparring partners. He was tough in his comeback, but Im sure nothing like the old days.

 

I would say McCall would hang with a prime Tyson but I think Tyson's body attack would be the key factor! Mike would also be a lot faster.

McCall's durability is well known, however, although its unlikely, I would not be too surprised if Tyson stopped him! I see Tyson hitting McCall is the same sort of manner as he did Pinklon Thomas - McCall would ship a great deal of punishment imo!

In regards to the footage posted of them both sparring, the highlight for me is that Tyson throws the shot to the hip bone like its nothing, effortless!

 

If Tyson didn't land a KO, it would be an offensive blowout.

Interesting video. Must have been in preparation for the Tubbs fight?

 

I like how everyone's ignoring McCall turning his back on Tyson and talking completely normally as he's beat on.

Same **** the second Lewis fight. Drops his arms and takes the shots one of the hardest HW punchers of all time in stride.

 

ko maybe not but a tko isnt that far form the pasability.

 

Tyson would beat him.

 

This fight would look like Tyson-Ruddock II.

 

TKO possibly but no way does McCall not get up before the count of 10.

He goes all 12 IMO but certainly doesn't win.

 

Tyson would take McCall on an 11th round Kayo.McCall would take his best shots, but as the rounds went on, Oliver would realize he's not in a sparring session with Mike, and those shots take their toll.

 

Most likely Tyson UD the atomic bull knows how to survive
and has an iron chin. Perhaps Tyson could hurt McCall with
body shots

 

Yes.

 

Prime Tyson either stops McCall with body shots or makes him pull some sort of quit job, or McCall survives by hardly punching, doing a lot of grabbing, and showing some footwork.

McCall could have fought Tyson if he had earned a shot. However, he lost to Douglas, who then got the shot. Post-prison Tyson, McCall could have fought him, but then McCall went and lost to Bruno, and then Tyson easily demolished Bruno. So you have to earn your way there before you have a shot to beat the guy.

 

No doubt in my mind that McCall had the toughness to last the distance with a prime Tyson. He'd lose more rounds than he'd win,but he'd be there at the final bell.

 

He'd probably get stopped but not knocked out
