why not? even at 45 no one has fought the competition he has fought since last october.lance whitaker,fres oquendo,timur ibragimov & now cedric boswell...he is 2-1 vs the first 3 i mentioned & there are guys getting shots who havent earned it...mccall at 45 has been fighting better guys then any top 20 contender.he beats boswell i think he should be considered for a title shot or at least a final eliminator
If Americans (and American wannabes like joe strong) think Oliver McCall deserves a title shot, than the division IN THE USA has a problem. It has everything to do with America.
Oliver McCall lost a wide decision to the mediocre Timor Ibragimov FFS!

McCall isn't even in the top 35 HWs rated by the BoxRec computer.
whats this american wannabe stuff? im happy being canadian & an american is the last thing i would ever want to be...lol! i just said why shouldnt mccall get a shot if guys like chisora,sosnowski,kingpin get shots? name one of your european contenders that has fought this level of competition? name any contender worldwide who is fighting this level of competition? you really need to wake up tunney...if you think im an american wannabe then you need to get your head out of your ass...i am the only one who ever talks canadian boxing not like you who only condemns it & you are a euro wannabe while im a proud canadian...you only wish you could be a european...just because i dont baglick & drool over white europeans doesnt mean i am pro american...im a realist & a heavyweight boxing fan for alot longer then you...you only started watching in 2000 while ive been a fan twice as long....

As long as it's just the TS then. I can't claim to know much about every Euro heavyweight because I don't get to watch them, so I'll trust your word about them.
You mean the state of the heavyweight division IN THE USA?
The division is doing fine in Europe: Wlad, Vitali, Haye, Pulev, Adamek, Helenius, Fury, Chisora, Price, Glazkov, Boytsov, etc.
If people think Oliver McCall might deserve a title shot, then the division has a problem. Has nothing to do with America.
Is this really the state of the heavyweight division? I don't mean to disrespect McCall, who has done well for himself, but man. What happened to the days when a guy like Frank Bruno was a contender who had no chance to beat the best? I'll settle even for that.
McCall is funny to watch. his painfully slow nowadays, at his age....and even in his prime he wasnt exactly a speed demon.
Yet his still has that hidden, sneaky power.
Im impressed hes still doing so well at his age, all things considered.
i agree , and oddly enough with his chin and atomic bull 1 hit power , against wlad or haye , with there brittle whiskers , he most definately has a punchers chance , albeit a small one at this point , WAR mCcall
sorry check that i should say the last 18 months...almost forgot he also beat franklin lawrence who has been making waves recently.thats fights with whitaker,lawrence,ibragimov,oquendo & boswell...in 18 months...NO ONE else if fighting this level of opponents & hes not exactly taking the path of least resistance.he should be commended!
