    Hagler because he is a Top 5 Middleweight which is one of the deepest divisions in history and because he has a better resume.

    I do rank McCallum #1 at 154, though.

      Is this a serious question?

        Hagler can compare to Greb, Robinson and Monzon in the fight for #1 MW of all time. Need I say more?

            What is Hagler's second best win? Vito Antuofermo, semi-shot Duran?

            McCallum has a deep resume with guys like Collins Kalambay Watson Jackson Graham Kalule Harding etc

                    Imagine if McCallum unified a title completely and then defended it against a whole bunch of #1 contenders from all the organizations for years. We are not talking about there being two other champions while he ruled as there was for McCallum. So top contenders had to fight each other for a title shot. And every time they did this, Hagler would dominate them.
                    So basicly put, he beat the best of the best for years. I liked McCallum alot but while he was a "titlest" among three other titlests there was always a question if he was truly the best in his weight class. Until he fought IBF middleweight champion James Toney in his first unification(the WBA did not sanction it but it was two champions fighting each other).

                    I also understand it's hard for younger boxing fans to understand the significance of being undisputed, because today it is unheard of. But it is a good measure of greatness. That is another reason why many long time fight fans hold pugilists like Ali, Robinson and Joe Louis in such high regard.
