    Charley Burley, Lloyd Marshall, Holman Williams, Cocoa Kid, Jack Chase, Eddie Booker, Aaron Wade and Bert Lytell.

    Personally I feel that at his best McCallum goes 5-3 losing to Burley, Williams and Cocoa Kid. Thoughts?

    He definitely wins some and probably loses some. McCallum was an underrated great

    As much as I'm a Burley fan, I actually think McCallum might well beat them all. He was bigger for the main part and his record of opponents and dominance, Kalambay/Toney aside, is remarkable. He also was one of the best ring generals ever.

    Burley, Lytell and Williams had the best chances

    To tough to predict how all those fights go but I see McCallum being a handful for any fighter from 154 to 160. He really was a complete and special fighter.
