    By the standards of McCall's day, Firpo is an undersized, underskilled powerpuncher with a wide open delivery and little speed to forgive it. He's a poor man's Maskaev.

    By the standards of Firpo's day McCall is a slow, musclebound, one trick pony.

    Were this even true (he could deliver that right hand quickly), you can be all the above, and with a great chin, be a champion powerpuncher.

    But you can not be all the above and be undersized and slow and devoid of skill.

    McCall would stop the crude Firpo in 4.
