    I don't reckon Williams....

    Lewis
    Bruno
    Douglas
    Holmes
    Seldon

    Compared to Ali's

    Foreman
    Frazier
    Shavers
    Liston
    Holmes
    Moore
    Patterson
    Williams

    etc, etc.... McCall was/is super reliable though... very tough man but he'd have faultered against the above. I'm certain.

    I've not seen the fight in a while.... but I remember Bruno staggering him on occasions - I was tempted to say that Bruno could have stopped him if he'd committed himself but would most likely have got nailed in the act.

    His legs were gone at the end, if it had been a 15 rounder McCall would have won.

    McCall's chin over Ali and it isn't even close, especially considering how much more frequently McCall was hit.

    Can you imagine this happening to McCall?

    Especially the last one.



    To be fair Ali had good powers of recovery, like a poor mans Calzaghe or something.

    No mate, I am trying to educate him.

    The winding-up is an unfortunate side-effect of trying, it is what prevents the education occuring efficiently or even effectively.

    Tommy Farr gets my vote.

    Obviously Tex Cobb is just plain crazy.
