    i think this would have been a exiting fight from the two jamaican natives at light heavyweight class,

    the great mccallum who won the light heavy weight title in the latter part of his career from jeff harding would have had all he can handle from a bigger, younger, stronger and equally experienced opponent in johnson.

    i think would be a great fight

    This is a good fight...Glencoffe would have a few moments...But I like McCallum's steady attack of jabs and shorter punches to the body and head, to offset Johnson's aggressiveness...Johnson would be pushing hard, but McCallum is the one who would be consistantly landing those short punches...and getting under and around Johnson's big swings. IMO. McCallum by UD.

    A prime Hopkin's broke Johnson down and ended the fight very late.

    Johnson is a tough, TOUGH guy thuogh. The refs going to have to step in and stop it, because he's not going to go down.
