    Let's not forget that in the Lewis fight, VK did not even see half of the bombs coming and he STILL didn't buckle.

    And no I do not think that McCall would have beaten Foreman but he would have been able to stand up to the bombs coming from Foreman. Of that much I am absolutely positively certain.

    Prime roided up Holyfield struggled against old fat Foreman, in his prime Foreman would KO roidboy in 4 or less.

    Yeah,...he was really being clocked, both to the head and the body, and took it all as well as I've ever seen anybody ever take it.

    That is so funny.

    Lewis almost goes into Rocky Marciano mode there!

    McCall, IMO would have a great shot of beating Tyson.

    It helps his head was moving slowly upward. Well, as much as a pillow would when a wrecking ball comes your way.

    Tezel: Well I guess Perralta and McCall were twins. You are all over the place: you think Diver Haye would KO Tyson and Foreman. I think your brain has been baking in that hot Bahamian sun.

    Janitor, show a clip of the second round when Lewis is staggering around the ring like an epilleptic at a rave.

    I don't recall Peralta ever knocking Tyson on his ass ever! Sparring or otherwise.
