    Mike McCallum no doubt for me. He was a complete fighter.

      I agree. I think it would be a war though.

        I'm a fan of Glen Johnson but it's Mike McCallum and rather easily.

        Head-to-head at light heavyweight, Johnson has a good chance because he is a very strong LHW while McCallum was at his best as a LMW although he had some success even at LHW as an old man.

        P4P McCallum is easily better and would win decisively at lower weights.

            McCallum would have been able to outbox Johnson rather easily IMO.

              As far as being a Jamaican I wouldn't know.

              Mike McCallum was one of the greatest body punchers of all time. He was the one who had taught Roy Jones how to **** downstairs.

              Both had rock solid chins and could hang with some big punchers.

              McCallum blew out Julian Jackson, got a controversial draw with James Toney (Which Toney had to rally and win the last two rounds to attain), also beat Donald Curry and Steve Collins.

              I'd go with McCallum, he won belts at 154, 160 and 175.

                  Mike mccallum is the greatest Jamaican born fighter ever. Glen johnson is a good/tough fighter, but he does not have the skill mccallum had. He has not really beaten anyone in theiir prime. He has wins over tarver and jones, but jones was weight weakened, and tarver won the rematch. Mccallum is one of the best who ever lived. He could do it all.

                    I agree. I think mccallum wins a uanimous decision. B-hop was the first to expose johnson when they fought, and showed the class of a boxer and a plodder. johnson has gotten better over the years, but if you could not get mccallums respect like james toney did, mccallum outclassed you.
