    I think that mccall felt and then knew that he was not going to get to lennox lewis at all. Therefore, in his mind he knew that he was not going to win the fight and he just could not handle the continuos leather that he was eating. He saw his dreams being pounded back into his face and knew that things were not going to be any easier for him after tonight. He had aspirations of winning the title and all of the gold that goes with that title. He saw that he wasnt going to get it and broke down crying. Fighters are very emotional people, believe it or not. McCall just happened to show his at the wrong moment.........Rockin'

      That was terrible! I felt bad for him..to think he had to live with the shame of that too.

        There was also the fact that he had recently given up smoking crack. Which could have added some additonal emotional pressure on him at the time.

            that would make alot of sense. Mccall kicks the crack habit and replaces it with a dream of winning the world title. when he sees its not gloing to happen he nolonger knows what he is living for. It used to be the crack and now it became the boxing, but that dream is vanishing. So he's left standing in the ring, infront of 10's of thousands of people, watching him get pummeled. And he breaks down. The three of us should pair up, we'll get to the bottom of any boxing mystery. To the mystery machine gang.............Rockin'
