Mccallum Vs. Leonard, Duran, Hearns, and Hagler.

Hearns-McCallum would be a great matchup. I tend to think Hearns's speed, particularly being more mobile than Mike, and his outstanding ability to box on the outside would enable him to win a decision. McCallum routinely beat the shit out of Hearns at Kronk.

I don't see him beating any of them, different level all together. Manny Steward new damn well McCallum would have absolutely tooled Tommy, thats why that fight never happened. It might have been competitive early but Mike was the better fighter and all of the insiders new it., Also he would have put it down on Duran. McCallum was a HUGE 154, and maybe the best 154 fighter of all time. At that weight Duran would not have had anything for Mike. Leonard and Hearns are another story. Competitive fights, not really sure how to call them.

He could probably beat Duran since it's well above Durans ideal weight but the other three would batter him.

McCallum probably beats Duran at 154 in 1984 if they had fought. McCallum left Steward when Steward had Hearns and Duran fight as both were champs at 154, and McCallum was Duran's mandatory. Steward said that Duran wouldn't bother to fight him when he had a fight with Hearns on the table, and he was probably right. Mike later took it out on another Kronk fighter in McCory. Leonard is a question mark since he was inactive for so long, and had up and down performances at 154 (McCallum's best weight). He struggled in his bout with Howard at 154 in 1984. Three years earlier he looked better at 154 against Kalule. Hearns-McCallum would be a great matchup. I tend to think Hearns's speed, particularly being more mobile than Mike, and his outstanding ability to box on the outside would enable him to win a decision. I don't think McCallum beats Hagler. Maybe the older Hagler was showing some decline, was slower on his feet, and easier to hit. McCallum was a better JMW than MW. Great post. If I was in the green I would give you green and I make you pretty well right on all you wrote.

His best shot is against Hearns, I see him grinding down Tommy to a late stoppage.
