Mike McCallum Vs Julian Jackson - Great Fight

[amat]

I've seen most everything from McCallum I used to have his DVD set on my comp and read a ton of stuff on him, one of my favorites and you are right, one of the most underrated fighters. It's to bad he tried to chase Hagler he never got the right break. He almost got the Curry fight twice, didn't and Lloyd Honneyghan got it the second time and lost his huge defining fight.

He also gave Toney a great fight the first time around but was just no match for Toney who had size and speed on him. Still made Toney sweat though.

I think what hurt McCallum regarding the big fights against the fab 4, was that he lost to Kalamby, that set him back at least a year and a half. Regarding Toney vs McCallum as i remember it was pretty even until last 3 rounds where Toney took over, that was for certain a gift draw for McCallum, but Toney also got a gift decision in there rematch which i thought McCallum won so go figure.

I think one of his most complete performances was against Michael Watson, i believe Watson was the betting favorite over in the UK, and he was on a high after beating Nigel Benn, but McCallum just took Watson apart and he made Watson look like he shouldn't even be in the same ring as him, and the KO was pretty devastating as well.

I thought Jackson was gonna finish him in 1, but hell nah! Mike turned that shit around quickly.

Mikes def. underrated, under appreciated and he was def. avoided by all.

amat, in regards to the body attack possibly JCC, Cotto & Olivares were all just as good as Mike at killing the body.
