It's not a perfect list... McCallum possibly shouldn't be on it... God would come up with a perfect list, but this was my flawed, off the top of my head list.. McCallum wasn't a guy to take a punch to land a punch. He would often win on points.. But if somebody like Julian Jackson attacked McCallum---determined to put him out---it was going to backfire on Jackson; who, for the 1st time in 30 fights found out what it felt like to get hammered out. It was done efficiently and quickly.. Don Curry wasn't a Middleweight, but that was a real nice shot that might have done the job were he 6 pounds heavier. Yeah, and I also know he came up from Welterweight.BoxBuzz wrote:Kalan wrote:Because McCallum was also a Jr Middleweight when he knocked them out -- and Jackson was big enough to become a Middleweight Champion and blow away Harol Graham...but he couldn't trade with McCallum for long without getting pasted out.
Do you think McCallum's name should be on that list?

Pavlik could out punch GolovkinKalan wrote: ↑15 Jul 2016, 19:21 RIDICULOUS PATHETIC LIST!!!!
Mike McCallum knocked Julian Jackson out in 2 rounds by ripping his body out in a furious onslaught... Tommy Hearns lost by KO in his 2 most famous fights at Middleweight... And Bennie Briscoe was blasted out with ONE SHOT by heavier handed Rodrigo Valdez -- who also is the only man to knock Carlos Monzon on his ass.
Everybody knows Gennady Golovkin is the hardest punching Middleweight ever... And that McCallum, Valdez, and Barkley ripped out a lot of people on that list.

Jackson is pretty obvious to be picked here with his ability to KTFO cold with one punch.
