    He won't, I provided irrefutable proof that Charlie Burley beat Archie Moore and he didn't accept it

    Chris Byrd? I'd say he was the last

    Ofcourse he could. Dempsey did prove one thing. Being big alone isn't gonna keep you safe. He could hurt anyone he hits cleanly. Even 240+. You better bring some skills, coordination and talent in there.
    But this thread is about Oliver McCall. LOL. He was none of that

    McCall is a guy who closed his eyes and threw and overhand right that connected. It was about the closest thing to a lucky punch you can have. I don't really believe in lucky punches but if there was such a thing it was this one. Lewis got on the wrong end of Don King's referee that night.

    The only world class quality McCall had was his chin.Decent fighter who got lucky with a punch in a million.

    Which is why I don't know why it's so controversial to think Marciano could beat him.

    It's a personal thing with some guys. Think about it. It's easier to walk around 220+lbs. With about 30% bodyfat. Go lift weights at the "gym" and believe there isn't any # of guys walking the streets @175lbs that can actually fight that would be 175lbs of lightening on their ass.
    It's easier to tell yourself that lie than really put in the work..like diet, or maybe learn how to fight. Just go do some curls and call it a day.

    McCall would turn on the taps by the end of round 2 and Rocky's punches would only worsen his withdrawal symptoms.

    **** Me! You still here?
    If you have an 89% ko ratio you are a puncher that is unarguable .
    I saw loads of his fights from ringside I know what Im talking about, and you as usual don't!
    Savold was past it.
    He had been a ranked fighter in 1940, 1942,1943.
    Unranked in1944,1945,1946.,1947.
    He got back in the ratings at the end of 1948 was ranked in1949
    His best wins were over lee Oma 1943,Lem Franklin1943,and Joe Baksi 1944.
    Woodcock shouldnt have been ranked at all really, he was domestic level.
    Savold was not ranked in either 1951 or 1952 .he fought Marciano in1952.
    Lionel Butler was chosen for Lewis as a confidence booster after Lewis had been ko'd by McCall.
    Butler as I have already said, was a journeyman with a very dangerous punch he has 25 kos in32 wins.
    You are without a doubt the most ill informed poster on this forum ,every single time you post you get it WRONG! It's official, you're a half wit!
