    Yeah, shame for the fans but SO much worse for McCallum. If he had gotten those fights he would not only get his recognition as the ATG JMW, but he probably would have had a crack at Hagler or Leonard down the road. Sad story, really.
    Definitely, the fans didn't get to see those great fights and McCallum would be regarding much higher now had he gotten those fights as well, they didn't want to fight him though, too much risk for what was perceived to be too little reward.

      I think Duran beats Margarito by a wide desision, he could've brawled with him without taking too much shots in return.

        Oh well, at least smart guys like us appreciate this side of the story. It really reminds me why I hate the whole risk/reward mentality in the modern sport, even though I understand the mindset.
        Great fighters need to check out the Great fighters of old, remember that the competitive mentality and ego is why they are remembered.
