Judging by the way lewis fought his fights (as well as skills) after beating mccall the second time around, do you think he could have beaten mccall even if mccall hadn't had the nervous breakdown?? personally I don't thinks so cuz mccall had a style that lewis could never overcome no matter how hard he tried, not to mention he a combination of an iron chin and a powerful right hand to go with it, If mccall wasn't feeling shitfaced, he probably could have knocked him out in the second fight as well.
Lennox Lewis couldn't hurt Mccall. For whatever reason, LL's punches were like pillows to OMc.
Even when Mccall started crying, Lewis was teeing off and STILL did not hurt him. Didn't even bother Oliver.
Weird.
Lewis probably thought "what the f*ck?, is this guy for real". Maybe he thought he was playing possum and after their first fight, caution set in. There wasn't much conviction in Lennox's punches.
Not many people have managed to hurt McCall, he's made of iron. Similar to Ray Mercer, when in his prime, he was unshakable not like the complete mess he was in the Klitschko/Briggs fights.
s didnt look like he knew what was happening. come on if a guy stands there with his hands down and is half crying are you gonna unleash your full power? i dont think so.

Ah, Oliver McCall, the great never was. I think Lennox Lewis would have won that second fight by a wide decision. McCall had lost the first four rounds, was out-boxed prior to his break-down. Lewis, post '94 was a better defensive fighter, more cautious, more technically sound. So no, McCall would not have stopped him again.
No, I dont think so.
Lewis took McCall way to lightly in the first fight and got knocked out.
He was in a different league to McCall in ability so the second fight would have ended in the same result regardless of McCall's mental stability.
