Two middleweight baddasses. Who wins?
McCallum via taking McClellan’s punch and giving him back the same punishment, and then some.
Stopping McCallum is a very unlikely scenario for anyoneboth guys are terrible matchups for each other. i wanna say mcclellan stops mike but idk
i know i know. i genuinely have no idea who would win this and i cant see mcclellan winning a decision. mccallum never beat a guy with the combination of speed, power, and skill that mcclellan brings but mcclellan never beat a fighter with the skills, chin, body work, and timing of mccallum. there’s really no fight in either guys resumé to compare this one toStopping McCallum is a very unlikely scenario for anyone
personally, i think they should have stopped the benn fight when mcclellan sent him through the ropes. he was completely out for like 5 seconds. that was fury/wilder-ish where you’re like “why is the ref counting? he’s out” and then the guy gets back up. i think moorer had a similar wtf-revival in the cooper fight too.Well stated. Not to mention McClellan has a very underwhelming list of scalps on his resume. Jackson and Mugabi........................and then who?
Yeah, add in that because he went through ropes, the rule there was 15 seconds not 10, so Benn was allowed to come back and not only score massive win that took years off his own career, but also ended McClellans career and quality of life altogether. Strange... Karma seems to find these guys with dubious personal life's. Look at Adonis Stevenson too. Seems so damn coincidental.personally, i think they should have stopped the benn fight when mcclellan sent him through the ropes. he was completely out for like 5 seconds. that was fury/wilder-ish where you’re like “why is the ref counting? he’s out” and then the guy gets back up. i think moorer had a similar wtf-revival in the cooper fight too.
but that fight fucked both guys’ careers. both took absurd punishment and benn was never the same
those two guys definitely had something coming. as morbid as it is, maybe stevenson will see it the same way and use this as a wake up call.Yeah, add in that because he went through ropes, the rule there was 15 seconds not 10, so Benn was allowed to come back and not only score massive win that took years off his own career, but also ended McClellans career and quality of life altogether.

???? you think nigel benn is the only “decent” fighter mcclellan faced?McClellan is one of the biggest enigmas in boxing, he hit hard, but he hit hard when faced with fighters who were much smaller than him, and against the only decent fighter at his proper weight...he lost....
if you’re saying we should discredit or ignore mcclellan’s victories below SMW because (in your opinion) he should have been fighting there all along, that’s a hilarious take.
I'm a dog lover too but that doesn't mean we have to pretend he wasn't a good fighter. His sparring partner mentioned prior to the Benn fight that he was doing that blinking in sparring after getting hit by a jab. He obviously went into that fight with a pre-existing condition. He damn near had Benn asleep in the first round and caught a second wind later on before succumbing to injury.McClellan is one of the biggest enigmas in boxing, he hit hard, but he hit hard when faced with fighters who were much smaller than him, and against the only decent fighter at his proper weight...he lost....
He didnt just lose, he lost like the dogs he used to put up in fights against others, he was a shitty human and we shouldnt forget that just because he ended up the way he did
