by the way I like talkin boxing with u. even if u disagree u make points instead of just trying to insult the other guy.gave u some karma[still have no idea what the hell that does though??] lol

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

yea jacksons 1st shot at title stoped him in 2 but not before he got rocked in 1st.man Jackson could punch.still think he is best pfp puncher in last 30- 40 years

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

Kalumbay was very under-rated. The time he beat McCallum he was on a streak. No shame there losing to him

If I remember correctly Hearns had sparred against McCallum and baptized him with that name. He also said that he would never fight him

I don't think hearns would have said that but I know manny who was training both at one point did not wanna see then fight.but I think hit man beats him if used his boxing skills and also could khtfo if he caught him with big right.MMC had a very good chin but not like all time great. he was hurt by jack[no shame there]and curry,toney

He had it all but the legs. I am always shocked that he was not more popular

yea he is def a great fighter just came at wrong time to be popular at them weights

My memory of him is as a soft light heavyweight in that farce against Jones.

Looking over his career years later and watching his fights for the first time, from light middle and even at middle, he was a very good fighter. Not great but very good. A tad robotic with none of the flash that his contemporaries had but he was efficient.

Anyone notice he looked like a bloated Jack Johnson in the Jones fight?
