I am a huge Roberto Duran fan, but, I can't see him beat a guy as great as Mike McCallum at 154lbs. Duran lacked speed, agility and was too flatfooted at 154lbs. Even if The Hands of Stone is at his very best, McCallum wins by decision or late KO. The weight CLASS is TOO BIG for The Hands of Stone.

McCallum by UD somewhere between 4-6 pt margin. Duran would have some very good rounds here and there but McCallum is too strong for him to sustain it over 15.

This depends on what Duran we're talking about the 154 that got flattened by hearns or beaten by Laing losses the 154 that beat Davey Moore wins so does the 157 Duran that fought hagler .

It doesn't matter what version of Duran comes. He was too slow at 154. The only way Duran wins if The Body Snatcher tries to slug it out with him instead of sticking and boxing. Mike McCallum was a very great and talented boxer at 154. In my opinion, nobody beats him at that weight unless maybe your name is Thomas Hearns or Walker Smith.

Ok that's your opinion I disagree McCallum was a very good fighter but not a great sambu kalambuy beat him , Terry Norris would of beat him

Well, opinions are opinions. I don't see Terry Norris beating The Body Snatcher. Sumbu Kalambay lost in the rematch at 160lbs, where Mike was getting accustomed to the weight.

No way Mike is stopping him. He'd probably win a decision though.
