    What on earth is this?

    Does this even constitute as being a reply?

    I despair.


    I'm not having a back and forth with you, trading insults.


    Let's just stick to your laughable points:


    1. Mike had a higher overall skillset.

    He was an absolute technician. He was smoother offensively, and he had a better defence.


    2. It's not even debatable that Mike fought and beat better opponents.


    3. It's not even debatable that he faced a bigger variety of styles.

    He faced a huge puncher in Jackson.

    He fought slick southpaws in Graham and Kalule.

    He faced true technicians in Kalambay and Toney.

    He faced a highly unorthadox Roy Jones who was in his prime.

    GGG didn't encounter all of those styles, nor against the same calibre of opposition.


    4. It's not even debatable that Mike was more experienced.


    5. Yes, Mike was more proven.

    Again, he fought better fighters, he encountered more styles, and he fought more fights across more weight classes.


    You're so out of your depth here, it's painful.

    You are 100% correct
    Good detailed post so much better than just throwing out insults

    Well of course.

    Because you can’t can you.

    You are simply unable to refute any of those 5 points.

    There’s just nothing that you can say to refute them.

    There’s nothing you can say, as you know that what I’ve said is true.

    So yeah, it’s obviously much better for you if you just refuse to answer them, than what it would be for you to continue.

    McCallum struggled to stop fighters at 160.

    He just replied to me saying he made a mistake called Jackson a welter because he read that on boxrec, he hasn`t even seen Jackson fight, probably never saw his KO`s over Norris and Graham.

    I saw his comment about reading it on Wiki. But I assumed that he was joking.

    Although if he’s serious, it would of course explain everything.

    It’s not really relevant though Mark.

    I don’t think that anybody thinks that. But he wouldn’t have needed to have stopped him.

    Agreed, my position was Mccallum by UD12. I was just responding to someone saying Mccallum struggled stopping MW fighters.

    I don't think anyone e is getting knocked out in this fight. McCallum had a 25 year career and was never stopped and GGG has hardly even been hurt.

    With that said, I have McCallum winning a clean and clear decision. He is simply one of the greatest technical fighters that ever lived.

    He’s said a lot worse than that.
