    I think Tyson wins both of these fights.
    By Decicion over Mccall and by late round TKO over Mercer.

    I think Mercer Tko's McCall in the 9th.

      TYSON is still the powerful one but during the era of Mercer Tyson will look smaller in the heavyweight division.

          OK i like your post, but lets not talk bad about foreman, no one KO's that old washed up foreman you speak of. Foreman in his return was too smart and tough to be KO'd. Foreman at that age would have beaten mike senseless

            It took 10 rounds for Douglas to put Tyson down. Tyson was TKOed by Holyfield in the first, and DQed in the second. He wasn't knocked out. He was KOed by Lewis in 8, and Lewis was a hard hitter, by anybody's standards. The last KO can be blamed on a lot of things, including lack of heart, etc. His chin wasn't all that bad, though.

            Also, 90's Foreman was a great fighter. He was very smart in the ring. No one could have KOed that Foreman.

                  Mc Call has the best chin in boxing

                  Mc Call has the best chin of those 3....no dought about that!!! You will all get down on your knees and praise the great Oliver!!! Have you people not heard of what happened to Oliver when he was a baby?,...some people.
                  Later brother brologs. P.S if Oliver was to get knocked out in the future it don't count because he is way over the hill now!

                    i read that when he was 8 years old ,mccall fell from the 4 floor of his building ,remained conscious , was brought to the hospital where they found he had NOTHING , no even a small broken bone.

                    he was 8 , just think about his chin after puberty ...

                      McCall has the best chin since Cobb. He's really right up there with Chuvalo and Tobb in the toughness department, except that he has a harder punch than either of those guys.

                      It's too bad the guy never had his head on completely straight because I can really see McCall at 100% beating a prime Mercer AND having a good chance against a prime Tyson with his chin and great right hand. I would consider McCall's right hand equal to Tyson's in terms of power but not as quick. Tyson never faced a guy with McCall's combination of chin and power. If he only had the heart and mentality to match, he very well could have worn Tyson down and KO'ed him.
