did anyone catch the wbc statement on mccline...its on a popular boxing news website (starts with f and ends with news). it talks about how Mccline won the first two rounds vs valuev before he hurt his knee....newsflash wbc, valuev was ahead 20-18 on two score cards and 19-19 on the third. i can see how people would say mccline won round two(i had it valuev but it was close). i also thought mccline was winning round 3. my point is that the wbc tries to rewrite history by saying mccline won the first two rounds...when the score cards, and almost no one thinks he did. do they honestly think we're that stupid? i guess we are if anyone pays for that fight. Mccline didn't deserve the valuev title shot much less a second straight title shot.
It will not be a walk in the park for Peter as some here suggest. If we ignore McCline\\\'s first few fights, he was stopped only by Wladimir Klitschko. In fact he did not come out after the break. Peter cannot hit harder than Klitschko. He is not that big puncher. His punches are some big loops. McCline will be a real test for Peter. It is not like fighting the overweight 5\\\'10\\\" Toney and basically loosing the first encounter. It is another question how will McCline\\\'s knee act or if he deserves that shot.
Following Klitschko, there is a boat load of improvement and McCline's record, post Klit, speaks for itself: Chris Byrd (37-2-1), loss Calvin Brock (24-0-0), loss Zuri Lawrence (19-10-4), loss Nikolay Valuev (45-0-0), loss Most notable wins following Klitschko: Terry Smith, Rob Calloway, Cedric Boswell and a bunch of other obscurities, from the obscurity bin. Yep, this guy will give Peter a real run for his money. :gayfight
Bringing out the profanity now. I really don't know what to say here cuz u seem to think Jameel McCline is the second coming. You are in the minority there cuz most people on this site would have rathered somebody else whether it be McCall or not. I don't know where u've been but in case u missed it Jameel McCline lost to Zuri Lawrence not too long ago. Now he's in a title fight cuz he split 2 rounds with Valuev and beat feather fisted Smith? Absolutely ridiculous. McCall's not my boy. I never had much regard for him but I think he's much more deserving than a man who was shaken by Chris Byrd and who covered up everytime Wladimir Kltischko threw a feint. You can talk about McCline's size all you want but he is what he is and that is definitely not a fighter worthy of a 4th title shot. Once again, stick to the other weight classes. I'm sure you can find the equivalent of a Jameel McCline somewhere below 200 that u can hype.
McCline was considered a decent opponent for Vitali because Vitali had about 3 years' worth of ring rust. As an opponent for an active heavyweight like Peter, not so much. I quite like McCline, but more as a person than a boxer. Better than no fight, though.

I've never seen anything like it. I have been focusing on why McCline isn't a good opponent and u keep going back to McCall and how I am one of his fanboys when this is clearly not the case. I don't understand you. Take a look at my other post. I said I never had much regard for McCall. I didn't build him up to be anything great. He is what he is and u seem to think I'm some big fan of his. Do u even know why he cried against Lewis you dumbass? Because he was dragged out of rehab to fight when he was clearly in no condition to do so. When Jameel McCline gets knocked out you should take your sorry ass and hide in some crevice somewhere because u have shown yourself to have zero credibility. Zero. By the way I'm gonna give u ur stupid technical facts right now. McCall is 10-0-0-1 in his last 11 fights and McCline is 7-4. Hasim Rahman is a former 2-time world champion so he could have been plugged in. Vladimir Virchis, the hard hitting Ukranian (who u probably never even heard of until this fight came up) has 1 loss on his record and is a viable contender for anyone right now. Jameel McCline is a waste of a fight and when Peter knocks him out it will mean nothing.
