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.
Neither Mike nor Herrol Graham got as much money as they deserved from the sport, they were both avoided like the plague by the showbiz middleweights, shame.
