    i would love to have seen oliver mccall fight george foreman, before recently i knew nothing about mccall other then his two fights with lennox lewis, but after watching some of his fights he reminds me so much of george foreman.

    mccall is slow of foot, very very squared stance, hands foreward like a zombie to parry and block shots, very good power but most of all immensley physically strong and incredable chin.

    to me i think mccall and stable mate burt cooper where so-so fringe contenders that could have great fighters... based on natural ability.


    i think mccall beat the old george foreman and who know against a prime foreman, george had to win a war against ron lyle and mccall is just a strong with a better chin.

    McCall gets stopped Chuvalo-style by prime Foreman.

    It doesn't matter how good your chin is, if you're taking huge amounts of unanswered punishment, you're going to get TKO'd.
