    Pure unadulterated skills. And I'm a big McCallum fan.

    How about a few truly gunslinger matchups from years past; Zarate/Zamora and Mugabi/Hargrove. I'm surprised they lasted 5 rounds between them. The problem is the loser tends to get ruined in those gunslinger fights. That makes the risk factor forgotten thru time.

    Gunslinger Match?! How about Arturo Frias - Ray Mancini 10 rounds of action pressed into one round!
