McCall is numner one because he struggled to best a 50 year old Holmes?;D
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.Quote:

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.

That was before the Douglas fight, just shows how Tyson was losing his skills and desire to fight.Quote:

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!
