Mccallum on the legends hagler hearns leonard duran all ducked me

[TBear]

Why didn't Duran and McCallum unify at Middleweight for the WBC/WBA?

Duran the WBA champion fought Hearns the WBC champion early in 84. Though they both were champions it was not recognized as an unification. After the victory, Hearns moved up for a superfight with Hagler. Later in 84 McCallum fought for the vacant WBA title against Sean Mannion winning his first title.

McCallum is so overlooked as an all time great...3 division titlist and never stopped and lost just once near or @ his prime and only lost to fellow champions and HOFers

It's similar twice in the middleweight division, two unifications when the WBA strip their champion, Nunn-Kalambay and Toney-McCallum.

So, everyone is just going to pretend like McCallum didn't just say on tape he confronted Hagler about it, and Hagler didn't have a good justification, but rather kept repeating that he "respects" but the fight never "present" itself?

McCallum has some of the best technique I've ever seen. It would have been great to watch him vs the fab four.

The fighter in your avi said he was the best he has ever fought, even though he was past his prime, go figure.
