    He only KO'd journeyman and shot ruined fighters, so it's hard to tell

    He ruined Julian Jackson (who had granite-chinned McCallum out on his feet in the 1st round), though Jackson still won the WBC title again after.

    Insane power for his weight, and the most unintimidated fighter I have ever seen. Doesn't matter who he was in against, how big they were, how good they could box, or how big of a punch they had; he just came in and left guns blazing. Didn't give two shits, just straight bombs flying, if you watch the Mugabi and Jackson fights, he leaves himself wide open Paris Hilton vagina style, swinging for the fences, but the presence he brought with that was unlike that of any fighter I have seen except for 88 Tyson, so you knew he would land first and last.

    If I could have anyone by my side in a back alley brawl, this is the dude. Some bash his boxing ability, which is somewhat underrated, but that is just it, he wasn't so much a boxer but instead just a ****ing beast fighter.

    Who else would've confidently threw leather bombs from the first bell against Roy Jones, John Mugabi, Julian Jackson and Nigel Benn?!

    It defies belief.

    Good stuff. I came up watching G-Man, He was my fave fighter at the time. I think he would have been an ATG.

    Where can I get G-Man's fights????

    Great power above average fighting skills.To be fair McCellan only fought once at SMW but he should been awarded a Ko victory over Nigel Ben. He was awesome to watch.

    He was excellent. The only reason he lost to Benn is because of the CONSTANT rabbit punching which clearly effected him. The ref was negligent. Fact.
