As much as I would love to agree with you I think McCallum deserved the victory by the narrowest of margins. Both guys beat Martinez however who's fighting in a weak era.
Good thing you didn't post it on the general, 99% of people in there would call this fight for Martinez simply because he is the man of the moment and that their only knowledge of Graham coming from a 5 second clip of him being caught by Jackson on some youtube highlight reel. In reality it's very hard to call without seeing Martinez in with someone who has a similar style. Graham's defense was better than anyone Martinez has faced.
Also, Kalambay has wins over both! Arguably two agaist McCallum, and beat Graham twice. Gaz, I asked the Classic before but what are your thoughts on the Kalambay-Kalule decision?
Detest these hypothetical match up threads, if you must post the drivel Gaz put it on 'General' or 'Classic' where it belongs Pah!!!
Him, Michael Olajide and Frank Tate were the up and comers who got put on hold when Hagler fought Leonard in 1986. I think Graham was #1 with 1 of orgs (WBC) at the time. Flea, I don't think I've seen Kalule-Kalambly mate.....worth a download?
i felt graham won a close but clear decision against mccallum, kalambay vs mccalum was world class boxing technical and exciting at the same time, sweet science in full swing in that fight
Trout Mask, your choice of monikor/avatar suggests someone with an incredibly good taste in music, and I'm upset that you don't realise that a lot of these threads spawn a fair better conversation regarding a fighters standing, or the attributes of two given fighters and fight-by-fight breakdowns of the way they sucessfully implemented their craft, controversial views on a fighters abilities, etc etc Upset because any Beefheart fan should be far cooler than this. These hypothetical threads are pure fantasy, but the mechanics of breaking down a fighters style usually spurs others on to greater things. You blatantly rubbished a thread, you have no right to act mock offended and complain of bad language, you came in here acting the dick. What kind of threads do you like? I can't say you've offered much since you've been here. Nob.
