Historically: who would be the best chance to knock Oliver McCall to the Canvas?

Louis
Marciano
Liston
Frazier
Shavers
Foreman
Tyson
Vitali
Lennox


All of the above are among those capable of a KD over Oliver.

The man has one of the best ever chins, but if he's timed right and he's a little off balance, he's going down.

There are no boxers who CAN'T be KDd, if they get caught with the right shot at the right time.

 

Funny thing is somebody on here actually put forward knocking out McCall as a good measure of how far David Haye would go as a Heavyweight - i.e if he doesn't knock out McCall, he's going to be ****.atsch :silly

 

Real mature,,,, why don't you join the convo withough attacking me on a personal level... You just pwnd yourself,, atleast I try to put forth a good effort and not troll threads to put down other posters. You added nothing to this convo

 

perhaps if mccall was just standing still

 

Frank Bruno hurt McCall, and Oliver openly admitted it.
I think Joe Louis with a well placed punch would be able to put McCall down for the count.

 

If I had to put my money on just one boxer, I would go with Joe Louis.

Not just because of his power, but his ability to put those heavy shots together in combination.

 

If Lewis couldn't knock him out when he was crying and having a mental breakdown and Tyson never knocked him down in sparrring then I don't think many people would, maybe if he was off balance like if he was throwing a lunging hook or something and his feet were off the ground, still pretty unlikely though lol..

 

One thing I do feel, though, is that the longer McCall continues his career the greater the chances of even his legendary chin finally caving in.

You've got to think all that accumulated damage will have to count for something.

 

FortyOunce if you think anyone would laugh at Joe Louis best shot, you're out of your mind. Let me tell you something, I don't care if you're Oliver McCall or Max Schmelling or Max Baer.. if you get hit by Joe Louis right, you are in danger of getting KO'd, you are in danger of having your nose cracked, your chinbone cracked.. you catch my drift. Oliver laughing at such power when he was obviously stunned by the much slow Frank Bruno, is a joke.
And if you can't get that then you don't know boxing, and you have never been in the ring yourself.

 

i'll have to say tyson i now they sparred in the past when tyson was at his best but people must realize that in sparring the head gear and bigger gloves
helps not to test of you not tasting the canvas

 

You could be sure Tyson will going full on in sparring though, I heard somewhere he got so frustrated with not being able to knock McCall down that he wrestled him to the ground lol.

I think it was on TysonTalk though, so it's probably bull****.

 

well now you know how we feel about you:smooch

 

Shavers.

 

And your point is? Maybe if you'd read the entire conversation instead of trying to be a controversial dick like always, you'd have understood the context. And Baer had an excellent chin.

 

Good choice. But I'm a little worried about Earnie's less than stellar punch resistance and stamina issues. If he got a shot in early, maybe. If it went beyond 3 or 4 rounds, doubtful.

I think a prime Foreman's got a better shot because although his stamina wasn't great either, he had a much better chin.
