@darryl1914 ...I agree with you. The 80's and early 90's were deep in each division.
-
@jummacob Like a lot of fighters avoided Nigel Benn!
-
@darryl1914 hagler, hearns, leonard and duran all avoided McCallum like he was the plague. if they were not afraid they would have fought him. mike is bitter about them not fighting him to this day
-
just like james toney's left hook against michael nunn
-
Was just watching johnson vs maskaev on vhs and e steward bought up this left hook yell
-
Many of the big name boxers of that time did not want to fight Mike McCallum.
-
@chisacat so true no one wanted to fight the body snatcher mans the mans A legend
-
@iljn1988 have to agree McCallum was A class act would loved to have seen him fight hearns would have been A great fight don't think hearns could have taken McCallums punches McCallum by ko in round 10 I think
-
Good finish combined with a great commentator's curse.

@KingRhaul ...that is an excellent analogy!
I think the major difference with the fighters from "today's" era and that deep talent from 147-160lbs in the mid 80's to early 90's were not afraid to fight each other!!! Norris, Donald Curry, Honeyghan, Mcclellan, Julian Jackson, McCallum, Leonard, Hearns, Duran, Mugabi, Benn Hagler and more...were not afraid to fight each other and LOSE...Fighters today from 147-160lbs..are avoiding each other like crazy!!!!!!

i dont think it's a matter of being afraid i think it's a matter of with today's money they cant help but look at boxing as a business so every fight becomes a business move and you need to maximize your time on top.you want to get the most while risking the least...boxers have learned from past fighters and are a bit smarter now which is not really good for boxing but good for them
