      Amazing with the beatings he took when he was fighting SRR.

      I have a picture of him jokingly going into my pockets to get money one year I went to the boxing HOF. The dude was sharp like a tack.

        You never hear about retired Mexican boxers having those kind of problems.i saw in the news that scientists studied agave tequila from mexico and found that it makes your bones thicker and stronger maybe that has something to do with it

          McCall had one of the greatest chins if not the greatest Chin in the History of Boxing.

          Never dropped or hurt even when he was fighting well into his 40's.

            Considering he fought untill nearly 50 Years old and had over 70 Fights, he's still sharp and speaks clearly.

            He has a great spirit, man. I’d say, “God bless him”...if I believed in God. Lol Anyway, he does sound 100%, but Oliver is only 53. There’s still time for those wires to cross. Lol I wish him the best. Seems like a real nice guy.

              Holy damn, I didnt know that. Thats a tough dose, most people would just curl up in a corner and wither away. The man is tougher than I thought.

                That's great seeing him in good health. A lot of people were concerned when he mentally broke down in the Lewis fight.

                    I don't know man. The time I saw an interview with Ward he was sounding a little punchy.
