Who can stop Mike Mccallum?

Mike doesn't have the movement to avoid a prime Hagler, gets stopped in 13

 

Duran ducked him technically speaking, but at least he didn't hold on to the title. Mike got that. You'd think that Hearns could have given him a shot at unification after beating him to a fight with Duran, but too high a risk for too little reward obviously.

I don't think you can blame Hagler or Leonard for a second. He was never a contender for Hagler's title and Leonard dropped the MW crown and retired after beating Hagler.

 

One of the few that come too mind.

Hearns was focused on Hagler and always was. By 1984, Hearns was an elite name and Hagler was next, and Mike had not even won the title yet. So after Hagler, Hearns had to regroup and was moving up to middleweight to fight Hagler in a rematch. I just think Mike was a little behind the fab. 4. in timing. They were early 1980s and Mike was middle 1980s.

 

No, Hearns fought Medal in '86 at 154 lbs in defense of his WBC 154 lb. title. They let him keep the title even though he hadn't defended it between beating Fred Hutchings in late '84 and fighting Medal in earl mid '86. He fought Medal a few months after he starched Shuler at 160 lbs. He alternated between 160 lbs and 154 lbs in 85-86. He could have fought McCallum in that time frame.

 

As Saad says, he continued to fight at 154 even after Hagler. A unification against McCallum would definitely be a bigger fight than a defence against Medal. But I can see why he didn't fancy it.

 

Mickey Rourke is my favorite actor.

But, he was a terrible boxer.

 

He was the Goat.

My dad used to meet him back in the mid 80's downtown N.Y for a brief whatever???...i used to sit in the car and think who the F is that guy at age 10. with my mom in the passenger seat all big eyed.....lol
