McCall is numner one because he struggled to best a 50 year old Holmes?
What does that make Mike Tyson
Maybe the super, Gold, emeritus champion?

Frank Bruno also outboxed Lennox Lewis before getting stopped, so don't sleep on Bruno like he's a bum.Originally Posted by mikeeod
I like McCall, not an amazing technical fighter but a handful for anyone with his granite chin and huge power.

Bruno outboxed Lennox? Did u even watch the fight? He buzzed Lennox with a big shot, but I don't think u can classify that as out boxing him. Lewis was buzzed n Bruno beat him around the ring, but there wasn't a point where Bruno was working behind the jab, slipping and countering...etc. he landed a hard shot and Lennox always had chin issues.

He is good fighter has a win over Lewis but was out boxed by Douglas, Bruno and should of lost to a 45 years Holmes and got huge gift. He would give a lot of people a run for there money but if they had a chin and could box then he was kinda out of luck pretty much then.

Really? That's remarkable!!Mike Tyson made him quit in sparring
Off topic but didn't Greg Page drop Tyson in sparring? That's also remarkable. Didn't see too much of that happening in the 80's.

Yes, I've seen the video. McCall was being hit in the kidneys too much. And was in a sparring mindset not a fighting mindset.

I believe the flowered version of McCall would also have been a harder customer than when he was a sparring partner for Tyson anyway.
But my money'd be on Mike anyway of course!
