    I'll go with McCallum by decision. A prime Roy Jones at 175 couldn't stop a 40 year old McCallum and nor did anyone else for that matter, so I can't GGG doing it either. As for winning on points, Mike was a defensive genius who worked the body better than anyone, was effective at using both his right and left, and just brought a whole different level of generalship to the table that I don't think Golovkins ever seen.

    I agree with all of this, except for two line.

    1 ) The part where you say people can't see how good skilled he was.

    2 ) McCallum imo clearly outboxes Hagler. I think that would be close.
