Usually when people refer to someone as a throwback, they mean skill wise and desire to fight anyone, anywhere. McCall was a journeyman with a big punch n great chin. Ray Mercer had more skills than McCall. Oliver would be lucky to crack the top 100 heavyweights ever. Just in his generation guys like Bowe,Holy, Tyson, Moorer, Foreman, Holmes, Lewis, and both Klits would be ranked ahead of him. He was limited in skill and a head case. Even Ruiz accomplished more than McCall.

Definitely not a fan there then lol

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?

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.
