Who takes this. :mjpls:
Bad match for Floyd a height a slight reach disadvantage the latter something Floyd doesnt usually give up, not to mention Mccallum great jab to utilized that height and reach,MM was a natural light mw, and not a fat lww that lingers lmw these days. Toss up...:manny:


Mccallum had skills but if Toney defense gave him issues Mayweather defense gives him hellfire. Fight is a toss up cause of size strictly, it's quite foolish for anyone to think that a simply ok fighter like Mccallum in his day walks over a top 10 ATG like Mayweather

In theoretical matches I try to keep Floyd away from the JMW battles, those were actually big boys in those days. Had Mayweather been around in the 80's he most likely would campaign at 135-140 ending/halting bum nikkas like Durans career

Yea, except that Duran wasn't fighting at 135-140 in the 80's. By that time he had moved up to WW & MW

I know Im just saying had Floyd been around I just forsee him at a lower weight probablya division or 2 less, even the WW's were massive

i like mccallum at 154. "skills pay the bills" like floyd says BUT this is a fight where size would definitely come into play. BS(Bodysmatcher) just didn't have the size advantage, but he was smart motherfukkka (very underrated boxing mind), had a good jab and let's not even talk about his body work. could floyd hurt bs? :manny: people talk about toney having the similar style to floyd, but toney was taller, had power (got the respect of bs) and a great chin. floyd would be on his bicycle literally against bs, i can't see him laying on the ropes doing the shoulder roll on this moterfukkka :no:

not a fair matchup. McCallum was just about prime at 154. :snoop: at McCallum being simply ok. he was probably an underrated fighter. still, not sure why we are making this hypothetical match between a guy who was best at 130-135 against a guy who was best at 154-160
