Calloway impress anyone else?

Calloway isn't great, but he's better than many give him credit for. He's basically a top grade regional fighter, and had he competed mostly at cruiser instead of heavy over the last several years, he probably could have been in contention. Of course, he most likely made much more money serving as cannon fodder for top rated heavies.

His best move would be to go down to cruiser and try to win a belt while he's made a bit of name for himself off of this fight.

 

Yeah he would get killed against top Cruisers, but Chambers would pick him apart as well. Eddie Chambers doesnt hit hard, but his punches are accurate and he has great stamina I dont know how Calloway would hold up over 10 rounds of constant pounding. Maybe Calloway can get a rematch with McCline or Rahman. WIth his improved boxing skills he might be able to pull out a decision against an overweight and unfocused Rahman (see last fight).

 

Calloway had and still has talent.

He could have been a contender at cruiser, especially if the 200 limit was around a few years earlier.

I feel he is a bit to old now to make any real dent anywhere but he is top of pile when it comes to C class heavies.

 

Good post. Calloway needs to stay at cruiser.

 

Right on the money on all counts. I've been saying for a while that Calloway is really a top of the line regional fighter, and that had he fought at cruiser, he likely would have had greater success on the world class level.

He still might trouble a few of the cruiser contenders and might be able to upset a weaker beltholder.

 

Well, when you single out those particular opponents, a light-hitting, small heavy like Chambers, and the hardest hitting cruiser contender in Ding - then of course, I am going to agree with you. Surely there MUST be easier marks at cruiser!! In fact - even though he has a title, I'd match him with Cunningham first. He's far less dangerous.

 

I always thought Calloway could be a legitimate contender at cruiserweight. This is a good win for him - especially because it's at heavyweight.

I didn't even know about this fight!!!!!!

Go Calloway!!!! Get back down to Cruiser....

 

Of course Calloway is a limited journeyman,but even a journeyman can be impressive now and then,cant he?

 

The guy has almost 80 fights and has been in with some good fighters but got startched by Chagaev and Rahman, he handled Smith pretty good and I think Smith will be KO'd as soon as he fights a Top Heavyweight, Calloway has a chance with the cruisers

 

Impressed by someone who lost ot Audley Harrison?:shock:
