Would McCall have beaten Lewis again?

[HayeFan]

i'm not sure hayefan, to me a one trick pony is someone like david tua who cannot get into position to land big punches against the likes of lewis, i've only seen mcCall's fights against lewis,so i'm only basing it off that, but he always looked to be in with a chance up until the point where he broke down, lennox lewis was a great champion, but there where certain fights where he got out of jail and that was one of them McCall was fearless, there was a point in the second fight where he just walked through lewis's punches, and started to land some big shots himself, lewis seemed very weary of him and i can understand why, i think there is a difference between the mcCall and rahman fights because lewis won nearly every round he fought with rahman, i just think mcCall was always in with a shot against lewis

I think the major difference between our point of view is that you seem to feel McCall had the capacity to beat Lewis 5 times out of 10, I feel McCall would win 1 out of 10 meetings.

What you're basically saying with your argument, is that McCall was at Lewis's level as a fighter. It's either that or he had his number. If that was the case, McCall would have gotten down to work in the rematch, done his thing. He didn't.

If you want to lay down woeful tales of mental fragility then you're guilty of not judging a fighter by his actual achievements. I can relate, I've been doing the same thing with a shot Mike Tyson for the past 9 years.

McCall's track record doesn't back up your point of view as far as him being on Lewis's level as a fighter goes. The fact that he couldn't repeat the win would suggest he didn't have Lewis's number, so you're left with only one logical conclusion - McCall got lucky, it was that 1 in 10 shot that I'd give to several fighters of Lewis's era.

David Tua is a good name to mention, an iron-chinned, big punching fighter who on several occassions managed to overcome more skilled fighters than himself through sheer punching power. I'd say Tua falls into the same category as McCall, capable of knocking out Lewis once if they had 10 fights to do so.

This is sort of silly.

"would mccall have beat lewis if he hadn't broken down?" Umm...that's SIMILAR to saying...

If McCall were better than Lewis, he would've beat Lewis' ass. Lewis is just lucky that McCall wasn't better. What do you think about that?

The point is McCall did break down. The first fight stoppage was controversial anyhow. Lewis was clearly better and probably would've won this rematch regardless I think.

Not exactly. McCall broke down because he was a crack head. If he didn't smoke crack, yes, he would have had a better chance to beat Lewis simply because he would have kept fighting instead of crying like a *****.

still a ****** point, sorry but that's too circumstancial. So if mccall didn't smoke crack, maybe he wouldn't have kept boxing. He might have discovered the cure to AIDS, said **** boxing and be living in a gold house and taking a bath in his diamond bathtub with the most beautiful girls and getting his **** ****** without the worry of STDs...if he hadn't smoked crack.

Did you know Mike Tyson had a diamond bathtub designed by Versace?

One day he decided the dimonds dug into his ass too much so he got out a fork and dug them out. When he popped them out of their little holdings he just let them wash down the drain.

I wasn't trying to call you ******, whoever wrote this. Just didn't feel the point was much of a point. Contrary to belief, I'm not trying to start ****.
