    Yeah i think of McCallum as better than Toney to be honest because he comes from that power weight. Even though he never beat him :lol: but yeah there is no separating them at mw.

    This has to be a top 5 fantasy match of all time, I can't even make a choice here. 50\50.

    He gets a pass because Toney beat him twice

    Not really. Mc Callum lost in their first fight. Close but clear. He was lucky to get the draw with all the hard shots he was taken. He was actually out on his feet in the last round. The vast majority observers felt Toney won.


    IMO the 2nd fight could have potentially been scored a draw if it was not for the unjustified point deduction . Mike made some adjustments in the 2nd fight to get hit less frequently with Toney's hard right hand
