    Im still shocked that while having a complete mental breakdown he took those punches as if they did not even exist.
    What a absolute CHIN this guy has.

    What I was trying to tell is in no way should McCall have been allowed to enter the ring in that state! How did he pass the examinations is beyond me!

    Well before first McCall fight if I remember correctly Lewis was about to fight Holyfield or Tyson he (lewis) was becoming big! Boxing needed Lewis to beat McCall so I think they made this fight possible regardless of McCalls state of mind, drug addiction!

    About McCall having Lewis number I think Oliver had the chin to trouble Lewis any time they would fight, if in normal mental stage. To beat Lewis he had to take some to land some Like Barkley and hearns! Just my opinion!

    I think he would of made it through yes. McCall probably has the best chin in boxing today, possibly the best over the last 25 years !

    I believe his actions were more of a ploy to lure Lewis in so he can land a bomb on him again!! I believe if the fight went on (being as scared as Lewis was), Lewis would have been in defense mode all night, but if McCall landed something big again....Lewis would have been Ko'ed again! There was no way Lewis could ever KO McCall...the man has a chin of granite.

    the guy was fried on a crack withdrawal. He should be most ashamed of not stopping Bruno, the worst HW champ of the 90's.

    the bruno loss was a fix!!

    King set it up so Bruno could have a mega money title defence against Tyson next!!

    these all add up to the reasons why ollie is so messed up!! he had to take ducks...
