THE McNEELEY PHYSIQUE — Heavyweight contender "Hurricane" Peter McNeeley poses for photographers yesterday afternoon after a press conference in the Rainbow Room at Rockefeller Center.

Boxing insiders predict that McNeeley, an up-and-comer with a big punch and a string of KO's, will be first in line to get a shot at McCall's title. Consequently, sports reporters and camera crews in attendance were particularly anxious to get footage of the young prospect.

Though still relatively unknown outside of New England, the Boston-based McNeeley has compiled an impressive record of 30-1 with 24 knockouts (17 in the first round!) in his three years as a pro and is beginning to attract some serious attention in the fight game.
