Another great post, Collins showed the character in this fight that would eventually lead him to middleweight and super middleweight titles. Mccallum extremely difficult to beat, underrated champion, should have made more money.

I wouldn't say collins didn't have a punch. He had a 60% knock out ratio

Where#s the objectivitty of Harry Carpenter? Collins may have lost but he certainly won the last 5,

Apparently Marrvin bollocked at at 7

Collins circling Mccallum from the outside not the best strategy here giving Mccallum punching room. Only hope was to rough mccallum inside.

Mccallum despite looking kind of tall and slight for his weight class really a strong guy with a great chin. This fight and his total destruction of Michael Watson proof of what a great fighter he was.

@thearns1 For real son...

@painesvillesandman c'mon we all respect Mccallum as a fighter and its true Hearns and Duran avoided him when he was a mandatory but that was to secure bigger paydays elsewhere and not cos they feared mccalum. By 1987 Mike Mccallums fights were being shown on UK national prime time TV. He was on the verge of superstardom when he beat curry. But he blew it losing to Sumbu Kalambay and even when he beat herol graham it was 2 close to suggest mccallum was true superstar level.

Thanks for putting this up.

Great quality.

McCallum beat Steve Collins, who later would hold two victories each from Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank. too bad the body snatcher never got a chance to faced Michael Nunn. Toney took advantage of fighting an old Mike.
