Who do you feel would have come out on top had these two met back in the day at their peak? Though you can never count Nigel out I'm inclined to take McCallum I just think his skillset was at a higher level than Benn what do y'all think
Benn plays right into McCallum's hands. He'd get murdered inside the distance. Eubank would give McCallum a far better fight and would last the distance.
Can't see Benn bombing McCallum out. I see Benn getting on top in the early rounds on workrate if he can control his aggression. McCallum comes on strong from the middle rounds to break Benn down for a stoppage.
Agree with this I don't see Nigel winning this fight or koing McCallum especially considering that he had a great chin along with his ability and his body punching. He gave Watson trouble and I'm sure he would give trouble to the man that Watson had defeated
Benn definitely has a puncher's chance. This would be a fierce bout for the first 7-8 rounds. However, I think McCallum has enough in skill and body punching to eventually overcome, either by UD or late stoppage.
Mike completely outclasses and stops Benn. For all the Benn fanboys who will inevitably want to say Nigel has a punchers chance go and watch Mike go right at Julian Jackson walk him down and stop him. Mike ****s Nigel up badly.
McCallum would beat him up, but there's a good chance it would be a classic semi-competitive war as well as a clinic while it lasted.
yes like most of you said. Terrible style matchup for Benn. Mike loves goes to get in his range and fight so he can counter and take over slowly and start working the body and win down the stretch.
I love Benn and he WOULD make it a competitive fight, but McCallum's just to classy in this one. The Julian Jackson fight is a good example of how tough Mike was. Great and smart fighter was McCallum.
