Mike McCallum vs Michael Watson:Have you seen this fight?

[1SILVA]

I would give more credit to Futch than Manny, I have never been impressed with the defensive abilities of ANY Manny trained fighter. Also I think that McCallum most probably studied the old films and picked up tips, like Toney did

Manny didn't want McCallum-Hearns to happen after watching their sparring sessions together. Duran vacated his jmw belt to face Hearns. Hagler was only after big money fights, so he turned a blind eye. What happened with Nunn-McCallum? I know they were both MW champs at the same time, was there any talk about it happeneing?

Toney's ko of Nunn put an end to that fight, so Toney and McCallum fought instead. Hagler was going to fight Curry if he had beaten Leonard. Because Hagler lost, Curry instead fought McCallum. You are right about the Hearns scenario. McCallum punished Braxton because of his hatred for Steward. McCallum also complained, while still under Steward's tutelage, that he should be the one to fight Duran and not Hearns. He fired Manny afterwards. Futch and McCallum went well together. Tremendous trainer with ATG fighter.
