Mike McCallum

[VatoMulatto]

"The Body Snatcher" Best nickname in boxing.

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.

we can just agree to disagree that's cool.i don't think Wilfred was smaller then srl though both were nat 147.yes I I know el rador was champ at 140 but he was 17 and ray fought at light welter then 139 in olym

What do you remember about McCallum?

Legendary Jamaican. The first Jamaican boxer I was aware of. Then I heard about Glen Johnson and Oneil Bell(RIP, made me very proud when he defeated Jean Marc Mormeck to be the second undisputed Cruiserweight champion at that time. I was living in Atlanta when he got murdered coming off of a bus late a night.

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.

Charlo by KO or UD ���������������� absolutely ridiculous. MM went in with a prime RJJ at 175 and fought a prime Toney TWICE at 160 and they never stopped him. Jermall couldn't stop a shot Austin Trout. ����������

Great fighter technically brilliant. I thought he beat Toney in 2 of their 3 fights the first fight was amazing. His fights with Kalambay were really good as well. Very good fighter to watch he had a lot of skill.

Shot is maybe a little harsh but he certainly wasn't the same fighter that beat Cotto, troubled Canelo etc when he fought Charlo. I think his legs are betraying him a bit now, a prime Trout would outbox a guy like Hurd IMO, he showed elements of that in the early rounds.

I remember that he stopped Julian Jackson and about every hot prospect back then

I thought he was same with charlo[he never really took a lot of punishment before] hurd fight you could make a case but I think going in he was close to prime.the layoff though prob did not help.anyways I think going forword he will not be same
