RIP Mike McCallum

[Smallpotatoes]

He won world titles at junior middleweight and middleweight. His one-punch knockout of Donald Curry was probably the most memorable time in his career.
I was fortunate to be at his fight with Steve Collins in 1990.

The Bodysnatcher was a bad, bad man. One of the most accomplished fighters of his time, fought most of the top fighters in three weight classes. As a huge Curry fan that KO came out of nowhere. Knocked out Julian Jackson, a guy few wanted to tangle with, in two.

Not many people could punch harder than Julian Jackson but his chin wasn’t the greatest.

Very true and it made his fights quite the spectacle, his fight with Herol Graham was great.
