    McCall had his opportunities early in his career and lost to Buster Douglas.

    Under Don King he got the fight with Lennox and the rest is history.

    McCall chin is remarkable as he says he was never knocked down in sparring against Tyson and he took Lennox right hand flush when he had his mental breakdown.

    There are few things in boxing more overrated than Tyson's head movement. It was phenomenal during drills. But in fights it was not. His fantastic power and speed protected him. People were so worried about what was coming at them it protected Mike. But if you hit him his head movement stopped completely.

    Very similar to Pacquiao in that offense was his best defense.

    Tyson's defence was superb and his boxing skills were excellent. Very under rated part of his game.

    Hey , Ronnie baby, have a look at this:
    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LORhVEj6rPg
    And this one is where he gets hits, but continues to move his head.
    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vC5PTPV4Frg
    3.02 to 3.12 is my favourite one in this vid.
    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=d_kbC36JESs
    I really want to find my all time favourite where he evades about 20 punches, throws a right uppercut against some giant, and the commentator just says "over he goes" he may as well have said "Tiiiiiiiimber."
    Come on Ron, what you got?

    The first clip you only have to go 15 seconds in to see him take consecutive shots without moving his head. The 2nd is Reggie frickin Gross haha. Don't get me wrong, I love how wildly overrated Tyson was and is. I made a killing on sucker bets. Never lost a bet on Tyson and never sweated one out. It was always obvious.
