    Next you'll be saying Rahman would finish it in 5 rounds and McCall would do it in 2.

    My most realistic answer to the thread is those I pick to beat Jones Jr, since some view him as unbeatable.

    At LHW:
    Bob Fitzsimmons
    Sam Langford
    Harry Greb
    Billy Conn
    Ezzard Charles
    Archie Moore
    Bob Foster
    Matthew Saad Muhammad
    Dwight Qawi
    Michael Spinks
    Artur Beterbiev

    At MW:

    Bob Fitzsimmons
    Harry Greb
    Mickey Walker
    Jake LaMotta
    Sugar Ray Robinson
    Carlos Monzon
    Marvin Hagler
    Gennady Golovkin

    On the same lines would be those I pick to beat Whitaker at LW:

    Henry Armstrong
    Roberto Duran

    I’m calling KOs for both but I’m not picking rounds.

    I do think the best either could do would be to split a two-fight series.

    If you ask me, the only way Lewis beats McCall is if he has a mental breakdown mid fight and starts crying whilst Lewis is punching him.
