    McCallum was a 154lber with a same day weigh-in at around 30 years old.

    At 168, Calzaghe. 154 McCallum is way better p4p, but I just don't think MM was that great above MW.

    As much as I love McCallum , Joe's size, Handspeed and volume punching would be a problem. I think Joe wins via decision. McCallum was in his mid to late 30's at 168.

    McCallum is the greater fighter p4p.

    Assuming we're talking about a prime Calzaghe, then at 168lbs with day before weign in, he beats any version of McCallum, imo.
