Peak McCall (231lbs) who pulled a shocking early upset against a Pre-Steward Lewis in '94, against the mentally Past-Prime Foreman (226lbs) of '76, who had a life & death slugfest war with Ron Lyle & was twice floored in the brutal mayhem. Both are similar in height & weight. I'm expecting most members to choose Foreman & laugh at my topic, but i think this is a very interesting fantasy bout, given the mental issues of this Big George, & the unrivalled titanium chin of the Atomic Bull.

Damn, quite a fantasy match up here. I'm going out on a limb and picking McCall by knockout. Foreman would try to kill McCall, ala Lewis, only to find out his titanium chin won't dent. Foreman will have to fight off exhaustion and McCall's late rally.
McCall could give a pre Kinshasa Foreman all that he could handle but could Foreman take it ? Still a prime Foreman could be aggressive and win a decision like Bruno did. I do consider the 1976 Foreman as a prime 1. Foreman had significant size advantage over McCall which is important as was seen in the Bruno fight , but Foreman didn't fight like Bruno. Some idiots will say Chuvalo had a titanium chin as well and see what happened . The thing is McCall was a much more lethal puncher than Chuvalo was and I think Lewis , Akiwande , Maskaev and a few lesser ones are much more impressive than 187lbs Doug Jones and an overrated white hope in Jerry Quarry as stoppage victims. McCall was one of the most suited to destroying bigger men. Still , in an off night for McCall , Foreman wins a decision and might be competitive or even a bit more against a top shape McCall , but McCall was a nightmare for any big man in history. I doubt if Foreman's management would have ever taken this fight.
