Prime Mike Tyson in this era

[TysonBomb]

Is that the same McCall who it was common knowledge he gave Tyson living Hell in sparring and was said to have dropped pre Douglas Mike Tyson

They never dropped each other to my knowledge. Tyson was dropped by Greg Page in prep for Douglas but that's about it. But even Trevor Berbick was giving Mike problems then, who was clearly not prepared at all.

They did have some tough battles in sparring but unlike Tyson, Lewis was KTFO when it mattered and was rolling around the canvas like an intoxicated mutt.

And please show me proof of McCall EVER being a 1 punch KO artist. Even he was shocked at how pathetic Lewis's punch resistance was and how easy it was to KO him. McCall was never known as a huge puncher, that is revisionist history from Lewis fans. Nor was he an amazing KO artist ... his KO% is just 53%.

I know I know, nows the point when you tell everyone how shitty Akinwande and Maskaev were. I actually get that but the point is that as cliche as it is to say 'anything can happen at heavyweight' it is all very true. The way you contort things to fit an agenda is as transparent as glass. McCall sparked Akinwande, Lewis did not. Is there any doubt Lewis is still the bigger puncher regardless? You cannot say Lewis is a glass jawed mutt because he was caught with literally only two shots that had him out while also knowing he was hit sharper, harder and faced bigger punchers and withstood against the likes of a Holyfield, or a Mercer, or a "zombie Tyson" or a Tua, or a Morrison etc etc or the very same Rahman in the rematch. All of whom I have no doubt are better hitters than a Oliver McCall who literally had his eyes closed when he threw and landed a one in a million shot. Ko ratios and simple record lines are not the end all and be all. Its heavyweights, bombs land and shit falls down. I don't know anyone declaring McCall a tremendous punching machine off a single elite level one punch ko and equally its in error to think Lewis would just crumble into dust vs your bwoy because it was he who fell that night. Something tells me I've just wasted alot of time. No one is bashing Mike...but he was human, not some super hero who walked on water and crapped gold cufflinks. Come down to Earth.
