    The Atomic Bull shock s the world, and Lennox Lewis, with a 2 round Ko. His next fight is due to be Holmes, but that falls through to money problems.
    Old Foreman hold s portions of the title already, sees Oliver as perhaps not unbeateble.
    Soooooo, Oliver McCall v George Foreman??

    If we're talking the George of that specific Holmes time, he gets rocked far more than he did against Holy, and loses far worse. McCall by a fairly lopsided decision.

    If it's the Holy George, I see the scoring similar to the Holy fight, except George gets hurt worse by single shots.

    LOL. McCall couldn't stop Jesse Ferguson, Orlin Norris, Buster Douglas, Lionel Butler, 45 y o Holmes and others. Morrison and Briggs hit harder than McCall, both never came close to stop old Foreman

    Noneck makes some good posts here and there, but if it's a 90's Foreman thread don't bother replying to him.

    I see it being the actual time of the Holmes V McCall fight. Don't remember how many belts George picked up when he beat MM, think it was 2,So this could be a unification fight.
    If McCall fights the same as he did Holmes, I belive he could be in trouble actually.
    Oliver seemed to sleep walk from the first till about the sixth as far as I remember. Then Oliver shook Larry up and after that it was mainly the Bull.
    Not sure if he shake s Foreman up, more like the other way around.
    But I see it close in parts.
    I've got to admit. I can't decide who wins. Lol
    I'll go with your answer for now, Rules.

    Really can not see that. Maybe rattles him, has him swelling around the face, but not dropping or stopping him.

    LOL at your feelings.

    McCall stopped Lewis, Seldon, Maskaev, Damiani and Akinwande (lights out). Foreman cherry picked Briggs and Morrison due to their questionable stamina and punch resistance. No such luck with McCall, who Foreman made no effort to fight. It would be like Stewart x3 and George would be put in the hospital.

    I know McCall had a bit of power, not dispute that. But enough to stop him? I don't know, remember Oliver couldn't Ko Bruno.
