    154-160, who wins and how?

    In terms of skill, this is a phenomenal fight.

    Mike was much better at 154 - 160 .. Mike was a great , great fighter. There is a tremendous jump in class from a Barkley or a Davey Moore to a Mike McCallum ..

    McCallum wins whatever weight. Styles make fights so they say and I reckon Duran s would work for McCallum. And he'd actually HURT Duran in there to the body. I won't go so far to say Mike stops him but there s moments where he come s close.

    Even a guy as great as Duran was couldn't expect to give away over a stone in natural weight to Mike McCallum and do anything but lose. Comfy UD for the Bodysnatcher seems about right.

    Mike wins purely on size. He ain't on that level.

    Duran shows Mike real body battering and stops him in 11. McCallum one of the most overrated ever. Just not in the class of the Fab 4.
