McCall UD. McCall was no master boxer but Baer was flat out horrible. His punch won't save him against McCall's chin, though McCall is not likely to hurt Baer either. Probably goes to a boring decision for the atomic bull.
No he wasn't. He was a very good fighter. Good boxing skills were not really one of his strong points though. He definately was not a scientist. Baer had great power, punch output, chin, guts and some other fine qualities.
BIG DEE HERE= Baer by KO after punishing McCall and flat out making him quit. Mccall never fought anyone with Baer`s power. The thing that you young guy`s dion`t understand about Baer is that when he was in the mood to fight he was damn near unbeatable. The Louis fight Dempsey said till the end of his days that Baer thought he was going to whip him easy untill the weigh in and Max joked with Joe and he just looked at him with that dead look he had and Baer crumbled. I literally had to push him out of the corner for the first rd. Baer wouldn`t be afraid of Mccall at all and would come out to put him away. Only one man ever Koed Baer Joe Louis and it took a hundred clean shots by one of the 5 hardest hitting Champions in heavyweight history. BAER DOESN`T LOSE THIS ONE KO IN 8RDS OR LESS AS MCCALL NEVER FOUGHT ANYONE WITH BAER`S SET OF WHISKERS MCCALL WILL FALL APART MENTALLY AND TAKE A BEATING.
A focused and conditioned Max was a much better fighter than McCall, he would win and could be the 1st man to stop the bull but I would give Max the fight
