Mike McCallum

James Toney: Still being disrespectful to Roy Jones. lolol... he just cant bear the notion that Roy was a supreme fighter in that early 90's era. Roy Jones was just the best in that era.

Doesnt sound like Duran to duck anyone.

Regarding Watson, he recently said on BoxNation he had an issue (nose broken?)

Tommy was much more money for Duran, that is why Roberto went that way.

Watson had taken too much time off after the Benn win, although that was in part due to injury. He was not up to McCallum's level.

You know him personally?

Mike McCallum was a great fighter that didn't get massive fights he deserved.

He was around at the same time as the Big Four, but for some reason, was not 'marketable' like them & missed out on some big showdowns.

I would have loved to have seen him fight Hearns & LMW, because that would have been a true pick-em fight at that weight.

I'd lean towards McCallum due to his superior chin & stamina, but you could never bet against Hearns, as he was able to outbox master boxers with ease if he so wished.

'A Great Fighter'

Though, early in his career, I did see him get baldy 'wobbled' by
Manuel 'Yuca' Jiminez, and nearly taken out.

McCallum's chin was solid he took Julian Jackson and Donald Curry's best punches.

[Bill Paxtom]

Yes the Chin was solid.

But, did you know that Mike got 'starched' several times in the Amateurs.

Oh here we go again with Sir Paxalot of shit. Every fricken thread like an acne invasion.

Stupidity on full screen. WTF does getting beat in the paralyzed amateur system have to do with the pros? Like I said previously, not even a basic understanding of the sport. I've never used the ignore function on a forum @Master so where is the thing?

I have to either do that or quit posting in historical based threads entirely. So the best thing is to pretend he's not even in them. But you need to enforce a no quote rule Or ditch the ignore function.


Mike was never off his feet as a pro, could write a book on the lost art of the feint and was most likely the best body puncher of his era. Mixed into that was his sense of anticipation and ability to counter off of it. Great fighter and one of the most underrated champions since 1865.

Well managed too.

He could have been managed better to become a superstar. Maybe left the kronk gym earlier or never went there at all because Manny knew how good he was.

[BCBUD]

Steward said Mike was his favorite fighter to work with. The problem with McCallum was his lack of aggressiveness.
