Prime Mike McCallum vs Prime Roy Jones Jr

[ICB]

Roy would beat McCallum in both thier primes. McCallum was good but Jones was great. Alot of people say the legends of the 80s like Hearns/Duran/Leonard/Hagler did not fight McCallum but he did not set it up well to fight them. After Curry, he lost his first fight at middleweight to Kalambay and that sort of took the air out of his momentum. And those guys always had each other to fight.

Yea that Kalambay fight set McCallum back and then when he finally beat him in the rematch it was too late to fight the big famous 4.

yep,, it would have been nice for him to fight one of them since he would have had a decent chance with any of them. Manny Steward said he would have been 50/50 to beat any of them. I read somewhere that he told Hagler at the Hall of Fame a few years back why he didn't fight him.. But to Hagler's defense, By the time McCallum moved up to middleweight Hagler had retired.

I think only one out of the famous 4 he could of beat was Duran.
