This list was published in April 1994, if all these boxers had fought each other at that stage what would have been the results of all those bouts? McCallum v Jones would have been very interesting as would G-man v McCallum. Julian Jackson James Toney Reggie Johnson Roy Jones Jr. Mike McCallum Sumbu Kalambay Gerald McClellan Lamar Parks Bernard Hopkins Thomas Tate
Jones beat 5 of them so I’ll give him a big edge here but Gatekeeper is right it’s a lot to match up on.
McCallum was no longer a champ by the time B-hop lost to Jones, McCallum was on the way down while B-hop was on the way up, and neither man was a big name to sports fans at that point, unless it was for a world title a fight between them would not have created much interest.
Julian went 1-3 against that group (getting stopped by McCallum and twice by Gerald, and beating Tate) Toney went 3-1-1 against that group (beating McCallum twice, and Reggie, and losing to Jones) Reggie went 1-2 against that group (beating Parks, dropping Toney but losing a decision, and losing to Jones) Roy went 5-1 against that group (beating Toney, Reggie, Mike, Hopkins and Tate ... and losing to Hopkins) Mike went 2-4-1 against that group (stopping Julian, losing two and drawing with Toney, losing to Jones, splitting two with Sumbu) Sumbu went 1-1 against that group (splitting two with McCallum) Gerald went 2-0 against that group (beating Jackson twice) Parks went 0-1 against that group (losing to Reggie) Hopkins went 1-1 against that group (splitting two with Jones) Tate went 0-2 against that group (losing to Jones and Jackson) The highest winning percentages go to McClellan and Jones, followed by Toney. We got Jones-Toney. It wasn't close. Jones and McClellan were actually the two everyone wanted to see fight in 1994. At that point, at middleweight, I think it would've been a tossup. Roy was at his best, so was Gerald. And Gerald may have tested that chin.
