    Scenario:

    Oliver McCall stands in the center of a ring and lets any fighter in history punch him in the face repeatedly, one punch at a time. He won't defend himself. He is permitted to tense when he sees the punch coming. Body shots aren't allowed.

    Who needs the fewest punches to knock him out? And what punches do they use?

    More than you think. If someone is given the chance to land on Mcall in the right spot, hes going down by most heavyweights.

    Shavers- his right hand (obviously).
    Foreman- just clubbing away as always.
    Marciano- his Suzie-Q.
    Dempsey- his left hook.
    Lennox Lewis- his overhand right.
    David Tua- his left hook
    Joe Frazier- his left hook
    Joe Louis- right hand

    one clean shot from any of them should do it. if he doesn't turn from the punch but takes it full on, he's going down after one

    If he's prepared and waiting for it, I honestly don't see any heavyweight taking him out with one or two shots. Obviously, he'd have to fall after a short barrage from the likes of Tyson, Foreman, Louis, etc.

    It isn't like McCall is inhuman or something..sure he's never been decked..but it's all in the context of engaging in BOXING..competitive boxing where he's able to roll with a punch he sees coming, along with moving, like all boxers are taught, in a subtle way known to practitioners of the sport, through positioning of his gloves, footwork, etc,.. Using whatever resources in his technique to augment that great chin of his, not just, like Superman just letting his opponent tee off on his indestructable chin with no attempt to deflect somehow the full force of a blow.

    Just standing there, letting a guy tee off on him would be incredibly stupid, even for a guy with the whiskers of McCall. The right hand that Marciano landed on Walcott would have put him to sleep, as well as other, less devastating but equally placed shots. No man can withstand the effects of a well placed blow without using any of the resources that boxers are trained to use....just "standing there", not defending himself defensively.

    It pleases me that someone has resurrected this intellectually productive and valuable thread.

    That "pirouette-two handed push" should be patented. Professional wrestling has never seen such poetry in motion!!
