McCallum is on my list of all-time greats, a steady and disciplined boxer-puncher who was ducked quite a bit when he was in his prime. He didn't have quite the charisma of a few of his contemporaries such as Michael Nunn, James Toney, Julian Jackson or Terry Norris but his record speaks for itself. His style was unique: a well-conditioned outside boxer with a good jab, instead of tying up inside he would throw energetic flurries of body shots when an opponent workd his way inside on McCallum. His great chin served him well on the inside or the outside. I saw many of his fights, all the way from when he was in his prime until he was nearly 40 years old.
