    Wasn't Bramble from the Virgin Islands?

    Don't forget Mitch Green. He was a nutcase but he sure could take a punch.

    Maybe a 154 SRR would have an outside chance too. On the whole from what we saw the moneys against it.

    I don't see anyone stopping McCallum at 154, 160 or 168. I also don't see anyone stopping Hagler and Hopkins at 160 or 168 either.

    I wouldn't favor anyone over McCallum at 154

    At 160 I only favor Monzon and Roy

    Sugar Ray Robinson could knock him out.
    When Robinson was on fire he was devastating

    Hearns vs McCallum would be a war but Hearne chin would not hold up. Hearns would hurt Mike early Mike would recover, then Hearns would get hurt and wouldn't be able to recover

    Mitch Green is not Jamaican. He is originally from Georgia.

    Hearns chin was not bad. He was rocked at times, but that is because he exchanged. He outboxed Benitez and Hill and would have used his jab pre Hagler and outboxed Mike, who was not as good as Hearns.

    Hearns could box against guys who wanted to box but if you wanted to brawl Hearns would ALWAYS oblige. When McCallum and Hearns brawl, Hearns will get KO'd 100% of the time
