    McCallum ends up taking apart Mugabi, after soundly outboxing him for 8-10 rounds. McCallum far too good and tough at 154.

    MM takes the hardest shots skilfully and slowly hammers The Beast down.
    McCallum by 10.

    McCallum should come out a winner on a late round stoppage.

    Mugabi was way too flaky. Showed a ton of a heart against an aging Hagler, but then quit against Thomas and McClellan, when the going got tough.

    How would you go about beating McCallum?

    The Body Snatcher hands down. He was such a complete fighter and tough as nails to boot.

    McCallum systematically outboxes and breaks Mugabi down. We should of got Hagler-McCallum instead of Hagler-Barkley. Imagine a Hagler-McCallum trilogy

    For some reason Barkley and Mugabi inhabit the same spot in my brain

    The Beast has no chance. None whatsoever.

    The only way I can envision McCallum losing at 154 is to a highly skilled boxer with great handspeed. Possibly Hearns.

    Mugabi has underrated skills and speed, he also had a really good jab and an Olympic silver medal, still, he's a level or two below McCallum who had an iron chin and great defense.

    Mugabi has a punch; McCallum has a great chin and great skills. McCallum by mid-to-late rounds TKO.
