Mike McCallum was a fighter I got into after he beat my favourite fighter Herol Graham. He was such a quality fighter beautiful jab and vicious body shots with a granite chin.

He said he wanted to out box Julian Jackson but when Jackson came out swinging and nearly took his head off he had to do the same.

Also remember the Toney fights and I thought he won the first two.

Remember seeing Watson's face after the first round where he could hardly breath after taking vicious body shots and welcomed him to true world class.

He was called the body snatcher in the Kronk gym after they saw him sparring. Manny set up Duran for Hearns when Mike McCallum should have been his next fight.

Everyone deserted him after he lost to Kalambay eg Duvas but he got his revenge over him later.

He also put one last great show in beating Jeff Harding at light heavy, pure class who I could watch all day.
