The Great Michael McCallum

[billeau2]

- - Young ran like a scalded U vs Foreman in between getting raked on the ropes.

Said McC is a great fighter, but a boring fighter, ie personality in and out of the ring. Paint by the numbers in the ring, and rattle the BB in his otherwise empty noggin out of the ring.

When gonna start U signature Ginberg BiG Boys in honor of all the boy attendants he had taking care of his excretory results?

DId you watch the Young Foreman fight? No... you were too busy circle jerking the Valuev fan club president...

- - Great fighter but a colossal bore that thankfully passed under the public recognition seamlessly.

- - I have already stated he was a great fighter.

Seems the colossal bore club can’t see any more than the colossal bore in front of them.

McCallum is an interesting fighter from a historical perspective: for a while he became the pro verbial witty rejoinder at the boxing wine and cheese party... "I like mike Tyson" "Yeah! Roy Jones!!" "ahem! Perhaps you gentlemen have heard of the body snatcher?"

This sort of membership into the boxing club for those who knew McCallum did have the effect of allowing people to look at a truly superb fighter. Look at this fight against Julian Jackson (POSTED BELOW): McCallum does so many things so well. Defensively watch his use of angles, head movement and timing... His ability to throw a well placed jab and freeze JJ for a second and then... right to the body. McCallum's hand placement, so that against one of the hardest punchers, his chin and side of face is always protected by his glove & arm, or tucking the chin... He is always moving off line, but not straight back enough to get caught... Just enough to circle and make an angle.

When he gets JJ in trouble he patiently breaks the body down until JJ is literally turning into other shots to avoid the punishing body blows, eventually being cut down like a tree.

McCallum at his best did so many things so well... One of the very best body punchers and on a short list of great Middle Weights.

Great fighter, a throwback.

doesn’t need speed, strength or power just doesn’t everything right and schools everyone. How boxing used to be…(well the best guys)

When I think of McCallum I think of his bout with Watson. That performance is who he was as boxer. It was like Watson was HS while McCallum a college professor.
