    None of these comments are funny! Type McCallum exposes the fab four into youtube, Monzon was in prison for killing his wife because he was a ****! That`s a joke only funnier than your stupid logic.

    If Hearns beat Hagler instead of Ray in `87 you don`t think McCallum would of challenged him?! What are you talking about, McCallum said to Hagler at the hall of fame place can`t remember the name, that Marvin I had kids to feed in my country you have to give a man the opportunity to feed his kids, why wouldn`t Hagler won`t to fight one of the greatest light middle`s of all time, McCallum was earning nothing, Hagler was gonna fight Curry at first so why wouldn`t he consider the naturally bigger fighter first? Money!

    Olajide never developed into the defensive expert that Graham was and Tate wouldn`t have given McCallum problems like Graham did.

    What's funny is that's about as close as Hagler came to ducking McCallum.

    Who knows. McCallum wasn't on anyones list as he generated almost zero excitement and therefore little money.

    Who cares what McCallum said? He's a bonafide BS artist and the simplest of research exposes this.

    When there was talk of Hagler - Curry it was still a fair way off and Curry was considered by many to be the best P4P fighter in the world. McCallum was a nobody when this talk was going on. McCallum was also wild because after beating Curry his stocks did not rise near as much as he'd hoped. Tho many still believed in Curry the McCallum loss simply made them think he was damaged goods, certainly more so than those that thought jeez Mikes the real deal.

    I cannot believe anyone would think Hagler ducked Mike. It's almost unfathomable and that's coming from a Hagler detractor. He can't be faulted on the topic of dodging.
