Oliver McCall vs Hasim Rahman

The only two men to have defeated Lennox Lewis in his professional career.

How does it go down? Prime versions. naturally.

 

If McCall can put his punches together and let his hands go, he probably stops him late... but I could just as easily see him eating jabs for 12 rounds

 

I see the latter.

 

X2

 

McCall was horribly inconsistent, whereas Rahman was consistently mediocre.

This would be upto McCall. He was a better fighter (everyone was better than Rahman, one of the worst linear titleists in all of HW history), but Rahman at least had a decent-enough jab, & could out-point a lackadaisical McCall.

Close, ugly fight.

 

Rahman by decision. McCall has his moments, but there are not enough of them and he doesn't capitalize on them.

 

If McCall had more ambition he could really have been something, he had all the tools.

 

He had what tools?

Chin and that's it. Everything else was mediocre.

 

The best chin. Big guy, hard hitter, good handspeed when he decided to throw. The physical tools were all there and he had a decent amateur background in Chicago. He seemed to develop that sparring partner mentality after turning pro, however.
