    I pick McCallum because he never got to fight any of the fab four, his career has been completely upstaged by these more famous former champs, did any other champ recieve less hype? Benitez suffered a similar fate despite beating Duran.

    Ricardo Lopez. Not just a champ, a true master.

    You mean world champion right?

    Hundreds of unknown champs who hold worthless (in the sense that having one won't increase your legacy at all) belts and titles. Some that don't even have fights on youtube or any other social media.

    Absolutely! I feel like the lower weight greats like him have definitely got the short end of the stick. No pun intended.

    So sick of this mccallum BULL****! He was NEVER in line to fight them. Of course at the then end of his career Duran fought Hearns; they were both champs. This Mike fable is revisionists garbage. Of course Mark mimics it!
