Tony Zale - Mike McCallum 15 Rounds

Seamus · 12-10-2009, 11:37 PM

Zale missed a great portion of his prime to war service so perhaps you need to extrapolate a bit here. But both were noted for a certain attribute.

I think you know where I'm going here.

Zale was one tough cookie but I like the bodysnatcher big here. McCallum is very underrated I believe while the "Man of Steel" is a little overrated.

McCallum KO 11 Zale

Zale was too strong and was more of a body snatcher than McCallum...Zale too tough

Zales was typical of guys from his era..they were tougher and harder than anyone McCallum ever fought in general...although I liked Mike, he would he would be manhandled by an even better body snatcher than himself..a late round tko for Zale.

zale wouldn't stop mccallum with a baseball bat.mccallum by stoppage.

McCallum either by widish decision or late TKO, better boxer, better defense, excellent jab and he'd be faster for once too.

Yea guys like James Toney, Michael Watson, Kalambay and Steve Collins werent tough

I think McCallum would outbox Zale and win a decision by a fair margin. Be interesting who has the better on the inside these two are some of the best body punches the sport has seen.

Didn't say that they WEREN'T TOUGH...just not as tough as the guys in Zales time were.

Never count Zale out. But I think Mike is to well rounded a fighter for him and can take a decision......

So who was tougher than Toney/Collins/Watson? And how many of those mens fights have u seen?

Mr Butt · 12-11-2009, 06:21 PM

McCallum by decision but he would have to use his boxing skills if he gets into a war with zale he may find himself in trouble late in the fight

BUDW · 12-11-2009, 07:25 PM

Zale wins,his work rate would wear down McCallum Zale by TKO late rds.
