    Yeah, I was just naming people not mentioned.
    I dont think McNeely would be able to cut off
    the ring on Pime Jones. Honestly the only
    McNeely fight Ive seen was against Tyson, so
    I cant really guage McNeelys chin since he got
    Knocked down by one of the most powerful
    punchers. So dont know if Jones, Hopkins,
    Holy could stop him.

    Butterbean, journeyman Louis Monaco, kickboxer Mike Bernardo and Brian Nielsen all knocked him out. Holyfield would knock him out cold in about 1 round. The only reason Tyson didn't, is because McNeeley's corner was wise enough to throw in the towel before he was embarrassed further.

    you can find some club fights he won on youtube..you can also find him losing to Butterbeat (but that is after tyson and he was using drugs mroe then) and you can find him losing to Henry Awkinwandia as well as Louis Monoco.

    Yeah, Tyson softened up the great McNeeley for Butterbean...because we all know that Butterbean would have never beaten him in his prime..that "Cocoon of Horror" would have dissolved the suet of the Bean.

    Actually, McNeeley was doing all right in there. His corner were either being over-protective or were backing Tyson. The corner intervention raised some eyebrows for sure.

    Bruce Seldon was an embarrassment.
    Alex Stewart, Marvis Frazier, Michael Spinks ..... McNeeley put up better resistance than those guys, whose reputations and abilities far exceeded his.

    I feel pretty confident that the SuperMiddleweight version of Sam Langford would get the job done. And could he could likely call the ending round...
