Re: Mike McCallum/Junior Jones Appreciation Thread
I really got into McCallum after he beat Herol Graham my favourite fighter. I looked at his record of beating Jackson, McCrory and Curry. He battered Watson and got revenge on Sambu Kalambay. Mike left the kronk because he wanted Duran and the Kronk gym gave Duran to Hearn’s instead which annoyed Mike as he deserved the big fight.
I thought he beat Toney both times and was a joy to watch as he had it all jab, solid chin, and body work. Quality operator. He won the light heavy title too but was old and I think Roy Jones carried him in their fight.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
