Mccallum was a real product.and not an overrated guy with a punch. Golovkin is another gerry ****ey. Totally inflated until he faces a real great fighter and he will get exposed
McCallum is the most underrated P4P fighter in history. Most don't appreciate the subtle brilliance of what he did So with that McCallum UD
Most underrated p4p fighter in history? :yikes McCallum was tough and could punch, but he lost to Kalambay and was cleanly beaten by Toney in the re-matches. I wish Roy Jones would have given McCallum a shot when he was younger. That would have been a good one. As for subtitle brillance, GGG has very good balance, good defense, and if needed one heck of counter punch which he showed constantly and brilliantly as an amateur. I would pick with GGG via decision.
He lost to toney? Lol you talk like if golovkin would have any chance against toney. He would frustrate the hell of him.(dont forget to mention the tiberi fight)
Oh sure, a low punch defensive minded counter puncher is going to frustrate GGG. Let them trade. Toney won't like it. He get sledgehammered to the ribs, and abandoned his counter punching mid way through the fight. You might want to check out a recent ring magazine article where modern trainers / matchmakers / media people pick GGG over Hopkins and Toney. But then again you think GGG is Gerry C00ney. Nothing more to say here.
See that's the problem, people can't see how skilled McCallum was. His defense, timing and saw him outbox far quicker opponents. His resume has Toney, Kalambay, Julian Jackson, Donald Curry, Herol Bomber Graham, Michael Watson, Steve Collins. Michael Watson went onto outbox Eubank in his next fight but McCallum won every second of their bout. He beat Kalambay in the rematch in a nightmare style for him. McCallum has a good case for both of the first 2 bouts when he was 35. Toney did not clearly beat McCallum until Mike was 40 and overweight and even then it was pretty competitive. Jones didn't fight for a title until McCallum was 36/37. McCallum imo clearly outboxes Hagler. GGG is excellent. I rate McCallum extremely highly though, his jab, ring generalship and defense are some of the best in history.
McCallum, for now. You can't imagine Golovkin outboxing Mike and I certainly cant imagine Golovkin knocking Mike out.
Toney beat Mc Callum but then again GGG is no James Toney. Mc Callum wins this one points. Too technical and sopohisticated for GGG.
