I once came across a guy on Boxing Forum 24 who had the most unusual rating system I had ever seen. I can't remember what his reasoning was, but his all time HW rankings although seemingly ludicrous at first glance were well thought out and difficult to counter when presented. He was of a mainly modernist view so his list featured no Ali's or Louis's or anything like that. His exact list eludes me now but in his very top tier he had Oliver McCall at number 1.

I personally think Oliver McCall was a very good boxer and it could be argued that LEnnox Lewis never convincingly beat Oliver McCall.

Obviously McCall suffered from drug problems and was inconsistent but that aside, taking the very best version of McCall we can, does anybody else believe the best Oliver would be a handful for any HW in history??

I myself can't count him out but I am somewhat divided on my opinion.
