    RIP Bodysnatcher.
    - - Definitely a rare combination of toughness and skill, just not so popular with the public. 68 is mighty young these days, so maybe a stroke or heart attack as I don't think he was ever into drugs...

    The athlete was driving to the gym in Las Vegas on Saturday, May 31, when he fell ill and pulled off the road, according to The Jamaica Observer.

    McCallum was later found unresponsive and then declared dead, the outlet reported. His official cause of death has not yet been revealed.

      I think prime Mcallum v prime Hagler is pick em.

      No one is getting knocked out that is absolutely certain.

      Both were hurt just once in their careers that I recall, Mike v Julian and Marvin v Tommy.

      Understandable from two of the most devastating punchers of the entire 20th century.
