Oliver McCall vs. Hasim Rahman

You know when Rahman fought Wlad he was way past his prime? Maybe you didn't realize that.

 

You mean a coked out McCall got hit by a passive aggressive confused Lewis? That is like saying because a stoned out guy gets tazed by a cop and doesn't call that means he cant' feel pain.

 

I think that Rahman on his best day, was slightly the better fighter, and I am prepared to favour him reluctantly!

 

I just got done watching the McCall vs Lewis fight. I wrote my last post while I was watching. I don't what you people watched but when ever Lewis landed a jab right hand it backed McCall back. Which is funny since Lewis wasn't putting all of his power into it because he was afraid of getting caught again. Also you people act like Lewis was hitting him with power shot after power shot when in reality it was one power shot at a time. Anyway like I said Tyson, Foreman, Ibeabuchi or any big time puncher who threw more than one power punching in a row would of stopped McCall.

In round 3 with about 1:10 left in the round Lewis hit McCall with a chopping right hand that stagged McCall. Then McCall kept trying to play off the punches like they weren't hurting him. Even the commentators started talking about this. If Lewis was going for the KO and wasn't afraid of being stopped he would of stopped McCall. You also have to realize like I said McCall was high as a kite in this fight.

 

yeah probably, I am not saying McCall is invincible or doesn't feel pain. I am just saying how it looked, McCall was obviously out of it but he looked invulnerable to Lewis's punches, I'm sure he would have went down at some point. but I will say, before the melt down Lewis looked concerned when he whacked Oliver but he kept coming forward, and rightly so.

 

The round before McCall had his so called break down Lewis hit him with a few big punches that stunned McCall. As I mentioned just look at the 3rd round with about 1:10 seconds left to the end of the round. Lewis wasn't landing flush power punches and he wasn't landing numerous power punches. He landed a few right hands that looked like Lewis wasn't putting all of his power into it because he didn't want to get countered and knocked out again. Mike Tyson, Foreman, Ibeabuchi and other guys who threw numerous power punches in a row would of stopped McCall. Either on his feet like Foreman did Chuvalo or maybe even knock him down and out.
