  • James Toney vs Mike McCallum I: Waht are your thoughts on this fight?

    Power: Toney
    Speed: equal
    Defense: Equal
    Footwork:McCallum
    Skillset:Equal
    Intangibles:equal

    Has anyone here seen this fight? It has to be one of my favourite fights of ALL time, the amount of slipping, rolling and blocking of punches in this fight was unreal.

      Totally agree, He even hurt McCallum in the 12th and final round. Despite the draw, Toney was still named FOTY in 1991

          I remember Toney saying that to prove himself he wanted to fight the best guys out there like McCallum, who had the WBA mw belt at the time. The wba would strip him because they wanted him to fight Collins again instead of Toney

            Which made no sense since McCallum completely dominated him earlier in the year. Another ridiculous move by a crooked organization.

              one of the best examples of how a technically sound fight can be competitive and exciting. The skill level in that fight was huge.

                I agree Toney won, and those sanctioning bodies always stip deserving champions that unify. Which is wrong.

                    I think it might of been a case of we arent going to allow you to unify our belt with another organization, so we are going to strip you. Those guys are just as bad as the wbc especially now with all of their ridiculous super champ belts
