    And if he does it, it certainly isn't anywhere near as impressive as the epic DEMOLISHING job Hearns did.

    Both guys were great. Hearns just did so much more and fought lower than Mike at welterweight and fought higher at cruiserweight. I love McCallum though and he fought and gave his all always. I am not sure Mike would have done as well with the fab 4 as he thinks. He still never fought them and they were top notch and quick. There is a reason why they are called fab four of the 1980s. Hearns/Leonard/Hagler/Duran were the best no doubt. I always wondered what people thought about McCallum's ranking all time.
