Deontay needs to fight this ferocious old grandpa too.

 

I agree. I became friends with the Atomic Bull in the 80's, when he was one of the chief sparring partners for Tyson.
I don't remember how many rounds i saw them spar, but one thing is for sure: McCall was never even stunned by Tyson let alone dropped.
And Tyson was trying to ko his sparring partners all the time.
In my opinion (this being over 30 years ago) McCall was the only one who stood up for Tyson in camp. The next toughest (read: hardest chin) was Michael "The Bounty" Hunter.

 

Man, i pray and hope that AB retires someday.
But i think fighters with great punch resistance tend to usually prolong their careers way too long.
In Tyson's camp, if you was dropped, you was sent back to the hotel. The following days if you was dropped again, you was out of the camp. And if you was able to put up some sort of a fight with Tyson, you was paid extra money.
Damn, everybody was laughin at me when i said this kid is gonna be champ one day.
But the laughter stopped after the Lewis fight.

 

This is a tough question and a good one, too.
I can't recall if any of them besides McCall and Page really achieved some heights at pros. They were big-headed black guys with hard heads, guys like Nicky Nurse and Garing Lane...
And you're right, Berbick was hired by Tyson after their fight.
Maybe we should ask Kevin Rooney?

 

I hate to say this, but sometimes a older fighter needs to be stopped to retire.

 

McCall vs Briggs would be a great fight.... Let's go champ

 

Let's have him fight Wach. Two top 5 ATG chins, facing off. Certain to be an early ko.

 

Actually...you are not wrong.
