    Serious? Barring a nunn type blowout kalambay easily easily outboxes him. Different class of boxers

    That McClellan left hook to the body basically ended any fight when it landed.... Benn kept his head far further forward than his hips so never caught the shot really. It was a real fight-ender!

    McClellan has a fair punchers chance but more times than not Kalambay takes him school.

    I have to go with kalambay. The guy is very underrated. Whilst he's not sugar Ray Robinson, he's good enough to avoid Gerald's bombs and takes a wide decision.

    McClellan is right at the point of becoming overrated. His record at 160 didn't include any world class, at-their-peak names. Julian Jackson fought evenly with him in their first fight. Gerald was a huge, murderous punching middleweight who had awesome KO power in both hands, but he was far from a master boxer.

    James Toney looked to outclass him in the sparring footage I've seen, and there is no reason to think a long, fast handed guy like Kalambay would be taking too many bombs on the way to a clear UD.
