    McCallum has a very big height and reach advantage.

    With his height he can lean in to get a few inches more of advantageness on the jab.

    If he leaned in his head and body would come closer. I think you meant step in more, not lean in.

    No more than usual, I mean more from a physiological standpoint when you're four inches taller you already have a longer reach than the man four inches shorter with a wingspan tape measuring near the same.

    But he weighs a lot, around 160 I'd bet. Not way too small.

    No way he's 160. He's small.

    Doesn't mean anything. He had significant advantages at lower weight classes, but not WW and up. Kalambay and McCallum were naturally bigger at higher weight classes.

    Fluid weight, not muscle/bone density.

    Ok but Kalambay didn't hit hard, don't you think Terence could take him?

    Kalambay had pop. And no, there is nobody out there today as good as Kalambay and there probably hasn't been since Mayweather in 2001. And a career middle at that.

    Call me crazy ...but the first time I saw Terrence Crawford, I said “ He reminds me of Mike McCallum”...He’s not flashy ...he’s solid ...workmanlike

    Agree. That’s my problem with favoring him as well.... and the two men in question were quite good at those weights.
