View Full Version : Bernard Hopkins vs Mike McCallum _Ricky_ 08-04-2008, 03:10 PM Both in their primes.. who wins? wmute 08-04-2008, 06:26 PM excellent matchup. got to think about it.... jack_the_rippuh 08-04-2008, 07:13 PM Bernard by TKO. Dambala 08-05-2008, 05:25 AM Close fight, B-Hop UD wmute 08-05-2008, 08:58 PM Bernard by TKO. how would that ever happen? 39 yo McCallum went 12 with Roy Jones, 35 version went 24 with Toney. How is Hopkins going to stop a prime mccallum? Terrible... 08-06-2008, 11:05 AM Both in their primes.. who wins? hard to say because McCallum was 30 when he fought Don Curry and that was in 1987 and many people thought he was even older than that id Pick Hopkins mainly because of McCallum's lack of speed he was never the quickest and he was getting beaten to the punch by Curry and he was beat to the punch constantly by Sambu Kalambay we dont know what McCallum was like in his prime cause he never got to fight the top competition untill he was in his in his 30's Curry was the best man he had faced and McCallum was 30 by that time ,he had already fought and beat Julian Jackson but Jackson was not established by then jack_the_rippuh 08-06-2008, 11:28 AM how would that ever happen? 39 yo McCallum went 12 with Roy Jones, 35 version went 24 with Toney. How is Hopkins going to stop a prime mccallum? Roy could've stopped McCallum and you know it. The problem with Roy is that he doesn't want to risk getting caught by anything big while he's comfortably ahead. Hopkins would've stopped him on his feet.

Hopkins would've stopped him on his feet. but that was not a prime McCallum he was 40 + then Jackson and Toney hit McCallum bang on the chin and they could not KO him and that was when Toney could actually punch a bit at 160lbs Hopkins Ko'ing a prime McCallum is a ridiculous thing to say and it makes me think u have only seen him fight against Roy Jones wmute 08-06-2008, 04:27 PM Roy could've stopped McCallum and you know it. The problem with Roy is that he doesn't want to risk getting caught by anything big while he's comfortably ahead. Hopkins would've stopped him on his feet. We are talking about 27-28 Roy Jones at 175 39-40 McCallum Jones has a whole lot more power than Hopkins. Anyway, that still leaves Jackson and Toney... rorymac 08-06-2008, 05:40 PM McCallum was underrated, and I think he would win. cotto16 08-17-2008, 07:49 PM a prime body snatcher takes this one all day IronMike_19 08-17-2008, 10:35 PM hopkins UD12. poet682006 08-18-2008, 11:13 PM Good matchup. I give Hopkins a UD in a very competive fight. Hopkins is a bit more clever in the ring than McCallum and just as tough. Poet vBulletin® v3.7.1, Copyright ©2000-2008, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
