    Though, early in his career, I did see him get baldy 'wobbled' by

    McCallum's chin was solid he took Julian Jackson and Donald Curry's best punches.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    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.

    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.

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