Mike McCallum

[Kigali]

Great fighter but would lose to the modern day Middleweights.

McCallum was a modern day Middleweight you trolling ass b*tch.

You can't name one Jr MW or MW today that beats McCallum

[JAB5239]

The greatest, least hyped fighter ever..


Dude was a legit atg, but whatever reason gets lost in the shuffle..

The GOAT at 154


I rate him higher than Hopkins


His fights with james Toney were all time great technical matchups, neither guy giving an inch.. must see for all you younger fans that didn't get to see it.

Great post!

Golovkin: Just as good of a boxer, can cut off the ring and hits really hard. I think a fight with McCallum will start as a chess match but Golovkin will end up cutting off the ring and breaking McCallum down into submission. Golovkin is too big and strong.

Canelo: Both are masterclass boxers. This 50/50 but with Canelo's stamina issues sometimes I could see Mc beating him.

Jermall: Too big, too strong and he hits like a tank. This fight would end up being like Gerald vs Julian but a little more tactical and it would last longer. Jermall by UD or KO.

Jacobs: 50/50. Jacobs is great at fighting off the backfoot and he has a lot of power. McCallum is a bit more tactical but he doesn't have the pop and strength to keep Jacobs off of him. I would favor Jacobs due to size and strength.

Andrae: Very fast hands, good power, excellent footwork, and pretty good defense. I think Andrae would utterly school McCallum. Lara by UD

Lara: Same as Andrae. Lara is the more skilled fighter compared to McCallum and he is great at controlling the whole ring. Lara by UD.

McCallum would beat everybody else imo.

like many people have already pointed out great body pun very good chin but could be outboxed he did have slow feet. I remember sumbu kalumbay out boxing him when he was still in prime.although sumbu underated fighter imo.also I think curry was beating him until one shot in 4-5th I think curry even stunned him at one point

Like I said 50/50 with Canelo and Jacobs. Charlo, Lara, Andrae, Golovkin, different story. Size and power matters.

canelo has anything but fast feet and Jacobs imo is not enough of a complete fighter to beat MM

[SkillspayBills]

One of the most skilled fighters of his generation. Fighters that got in the ring with him ALWAYS give him nothing but high praise. Look at the "best I ever faced" thread and see how many fighters talk about his skills and abilities.

It's not always about being complete. I can argue that Wilfred is more complete than hearns and leonard. But due to size he fell short. It is what it is.
