1994 Oliver McCall vs 1974 George Foreman

Ollie goes nite-nite...

 

I don't think McCall has the tools physically or mentally to deal with the young Foreman on slaught. Foreman puts a bad hurting on him and takes him out around 3-5 rounds. McCall was very durable but a human can only take so much wouldn't be surprised to see McCall look like he is crying by the end of this one and even take a knee and let the ref count him out after being battered.

 

I would say that the crying thing McCall did in the rematch would be real and he wouldn't drop his hands again if he survived

 

Bruno was hurting McCall in the first round but wasn't looking to finish, the Atomic Bull got rocked several times and had to back up, hold on, or go to the ropes. McCall went into his shell after that and Bruno was happy to outbox him. Foreman would have jumped all over McCall and forced an early stoppage on the ropes.

Foreman KOs McCall in 1 or 2 , George lived on fighters who stood right in front of him.

 

McCall isn't getting stopped by damn near anyone but the ready rock.

 

If it takes place in Zaire, Foreman ends up on his ass.

 

Hell, Bruno probably could have done it if he was more aggressive. He had a hurt McCall on the ropes, holding on, and backing up several times in the first three rounds. Bruno understandably was timid though and played it safe, never forcing the issue, but Foreman would. He wouldn't hesitant when McCall backed up or fell into the ropes, and he would just push him off if he tried to walk in and clinch. People forget how much of an effect Bruno's punches were having on the supposedly unstoppable Bull.

 

Bruno has worse stamina than Foreman in any location. You aren't going to tire someone out when you go into shell for half the fight after getting knocked around like a ragdoll.

 

I don't think Bruno was looking for a follow up in most instances, he played it safe as he should have given his tendency to get himself into trouble, he was content with controlling the fight. Foreman hit as hard Bruno but was a far superior and aggressive finisher. I think would be similar to the Chuvalo stoppage, McCall still on his feet and maybe making a case he could have continued, but Foreman is going to do what he wants.

 

Foreman ko in 2 or less
