    McCallum points, just an all round better technician, a better jab and smarter ring general.

    No way McCallum gets stopped, 1 of the best defensive boxers alongside immense grit and durability.

    Mike McCullum was a bigger fighter.

    This.

    McCallum wouldn't even bother looking for a stoppage happy in the knowledge he can comfortably out box Hagler. It is Marvin who would need the KO, and McCallum is far from easy to stop.

    prime for prime I think Hagler wins a decision. Mike at his absolute prime was a Junior Middleweight. At middleweight he lost to Kalambay and barely beat Herol Graham. He didn't have the power at 160lbs. to trouble Hagler at all. And Hagler is stronger. Mike might have been able to beat him after the Leonard fight though.

    You really don't like McCallum do you, with your thumbs up to anyone who picks against him.

    I'll take this over any big mouthed Murican fighter screaming about nothing, every day of the week and twice on Sunday's, or indeed their fans.

    Anyone who thinks it was just coincidence, or timing that was the reason McCallum never got to fight one of the fab 4 needs to get out of their cuckoo's nest.

    No dude, of the FAB 4, I think he beats Duran and Hearns, loses to Hagler and Robinson but gives them hell

    I hope I speak for others when I say the condescending, elitist, anti-American sentiments that pervade many of your posts are growing stale. The ****ysis I made regarding Hagler/McCallum was based on solid points - if you don't agree with it that's fine. But to say we automatically don't favor McCallum because Hagler is American and McCallum is not, is total BS. Please, take the stick out of your a$$. You might even garner a few friends by doing so.

    You speak for me...I'm sick to death of this unsolicited anti-American **** that goes on here all the time. It got old a long time ago.
