    It wouldn't have taken just Lennox Lewis, but any of the top heavyweights could have capitalized on that situation in that fight. Here you had the probably never to be repeated occurance of a fighter suddenly becoming distracted from the fight at hand by bursting into tears. Now McCall has a legendary set of whiskers, and no one can deny that, but COME ON NOW!!! ANYONE, walking around in the ring, sobbing his heart out, not even looking at his opponent, who wants to do him physical harm would be able to withstand a sudden shot to those unprotected, unsuspecting whiskers, not McCall, Chuvalo, LaMotta, not ANY legendary "chin" of boxing history. To be prepared for a punch, and be able to withstand it, as was the custom of the previously mentioned great "chins", you have to see the punch coming to some degree, at least. A totally unexpected shot out of nowhere against a completely unprepared chin can be devastating, just as Ray Leonard once said. You guys probably think that if someone was holding McCall's arms back from behind that he would just shrug off any punch landed on him, like Superman.

    As long as McCall's still active, it's gotta be him.

    Andrade took massive flush shots from kessler while always coming forward. After the fight he didn't have a single mark on his face

    Let me say that "No" chin is indestructable.
    Yes --- some are alot better than others.
    Every individual have their threshholds.
    The right shot, the right amount of power, the right time, no warning ----- guess what.
    Its lights out.
