    McCallum, by decision. Different breed of fighter.

    No, McCallum`s reach advantage and ability to slip would be a big problem for GGG, it would be a close fight.

    At middleweight, Kalambay? Collins wasn`t that good and Graham was too defensive.

    all your posts are like you are stuck in the 80s and 90s, and you have a massive bias for fighters from that era.

    No, Graham didn`t throw enough jabs, his reach would have been a problem for GGG though, I mention middleweight because McCallum was better at 154.

    GGG wasn`t active enough with his lead hand despite jabbing a lot he didn`t feint much with his lead hand, he didn`t keep his opponents guesing enough, McCallum was too smooth for GGG.

    Murata had a longer reach than McCallum and Golovkin had zero problems. In fact GGG has had the shorter reach than his opponent in virtually all his fights and he's coped just fine.

    Murata has a 75 inch reach, McCallum had a 78 inch reach the same as Ali`s.
