    I know, but Mike struggled with movers and Eubank could move about as well as anyone (look no further than Benn fight), and even Mike himself admitted that the only way to beat Eubank was to jump all over him!

    Eubank had a TERRIFIC stiff jab, a Eubank-Toney fight would 100% depend on whether Toney could read it to avoid and counter because otherwise he would be grinded down.
    you vastly overate Eubank ,he fought bums most of the time ,he was a good champion but not great

To say McCallum is leagues above Watson would be idiotic. He beat Watson in a fight where he had to take a year off. IMO watson was a better fight, Mike was a vicious body puncher one of the best but Watson was a very slick well rounded defense fighter and countered well. To say im idiotic for believing that Watson was better than McCallum is idiotic they are both respectable great world champions it's just a shame they never fought again and a shame about Watsons injuries.


        Michael Watson ,Errol Christie ,Nigel Benn

        Mike McCallum ,James Toney ,Sumbu Kalambay,Don Curry ,Steve Collins,Herol Graham,Milton McCrory,Julian Jackson

        not to mention the fact he he beat Watson aswell ,like i said idiotic

          But Watson's career was cut at 25. Mike did most of his stuff in his 30's.

                Mike McCallum is a good fighter i admit that but i still think based off skills alone that Watson was the better of the pair. Mike McCallum's oppositions isn't that great only Toney and Jackson were worthy and he lost to Tony twice.. Reggie Johnson is no one, the only people that Collins beat were shadows of Eubank and Benn but he did have one of the best chins i've seen. Kalamby is also a nobody, he lost to Toney and RJJ but no shame in that but he did lose to Tiozzo but admitadly he was well past his best during those last 3 fights.

                    so basically u have took his resume apart and made an excuse for every good fighter he beat,he was an Elite fighter Watson was not & McCallum beat Elite fighters

                    Kalambay is a nobody he beat Iran Barkley,Herol Graham & Completely outboxed Mike McCallum in their 1st fight

                    some British fans make me ashamed to say im British with their poor opinions on Boxing

                      Ryno113 is American. Most Americans, after seeing Watson's masterclass against Benn and McCallum's poor performance against Collins, were actually tipping Watson to beat McCallum, even though McCallum was the American-based fighter.
