    This is a pretty easy one here, McCallum got his title here on his ring savvy and experience but he was not the same fighter here. He lost the title to Tiozzo???XXXXXXXXXXX Damn im almost tempted to say Yaqui stops him but Mccallum even at LH was a tough customer and had the experience to avoid that.

    I cant see Yaqui losing this he would be too strong big and relentless for Mccallum, but Mccallums would show flashes of his greatness here to be competitvive. In a 15 round fight i can see Yaqui stopping him late, butt ill give Mccallum the Botb to last here. Mccallum would be competetive but Yaqui wins here convincingly.

    I voted Lopez by decision, but I wouldn't rule out a late stoppage here.

    He'd have too much size, fire, power, youthful intensity, and even speed for McCallum at this weight.

    This would most likely be a brutal beating.Lopez wouldn't take it easy like Jones and he was a much better fighter than Tiozzo or a faded harding.
