    We shouldn't even compare GGG to the great McCallum. That's a huge mismatch.

    Probably a better question for the Classic forum.... after GGG's career is over.

    McCallum has one of the best resumes I've seen. Damn don't think you can pick ggg right now.

    :yep

    It is far too early and not really fair to GGG to consider such a match-up at this point.

    A lot of classic posters don't even watch today's boxing. They usually always go for the old fighter. Although for this certain fight I'll go with McCallum dec.

    Ill take mccallum He hit hard , was faster and could also box very good. He also had alot of heart and a good chin.

    There isn't a MW close to Mcallum's skills. mccallum by decision.
