Mike McCallum vs. Gennady Golovkin.

I'll tell you another guy from that time who was amazing but criminally underrated: Reggie Johnson.

I'd take Reggie over GGG too.

What an amazing time for the MW division back then....

Why was Reggie so good for you?

Y'all gotta go back and watch some Reggie Johnson. So skilled as a boxer, fantastic counter puncher, solid defence, good southpaw jab and a really good left straight/hook. He had a lot more power than his KO % gives him credit for, too. I think he's the only guy to ever legitimately drop and hurt Toney (a fight he won IMO).

He could box and fight and if you look at some of the guys he outboxed like Toney and Kidfire you're seeing an A-level boxer. If you watches his losses, pretty much all of them were razor close and could have gone his way, except the RJJ fight. He even gave Tarver a tough fight at 175 years later when Reggie was washed up.

Only guy to beat Lamar Parks who would have been great had he not contracted HIV




Great 1-punch KO at 175, great southpaw right hook

McCallum also had a good ring IQ.

It's probably just me, but I think McCallum would have been a tough outing for just about any MW in history.

Yes.

The only MW in history I would completely count him out against is Roy Jones.
