If you could somehow make a boxing league and have Benn, Eubank, Watson, Collins, Calzaghe and McCallum in their primes against each other at a fair catch weight I think that Mike would be the only one to beat every other fighter. I think one of the others at least would beat Calzaghe in their primes, probably Collins and Eubank and maybe even Watson too although I do think he'd easily beat Benn but McCallum would beat all 5 of the others IMO.
I think you're right.Quote:

Collins wasn't a very good fighter, decent at best.
Eubank was tricky, but Mike had a great fast jab.
Watson....well you know.
Calzaghe.....there are question marks.
Pound for pound I think Mike betters him, but with Joe being bigger.........
True but I think Mike added weight better than Calzaghe did in his last fight. He still gave a decent account of himself against 2 great fighters in RJJ and Toney at LHW as an old man!Quote:

That is true, but he was a shadow of himself.Quote:

Mike at Light Middle, what a force!
Oh without doubt! Kind of reminds me of Winky Wright. Not stylewise but story wise, it took Winky a long time and a lot of countries to get the recognition he deserved and also the fights he deserved. That is actually a fight I'd like to see also Winky v McCallum prime v prime. A defensive master in Winky against a super skilled punishing body puncher like McCallum!Quote:

It had never occured to me, but there's truth in it.
Winky Wright reminds me more of Marlon Staring.Quote:

Mike McCallum vs Herol Graham was an ugly fight, that was too awkward to score IMO.Quote:
