Mike McCallum - The Body Snatcher

Highlights of the incredible 3 weight world champion! The Body Snatcher at his devastating best.

Mike McCallum - Is a Jamaican former professional boxer who competed from 1981 to 1997. He held world championships in three weight classes, including the WBA Super Welterweight title from 1984 to 1988, the WBA Middleweight title from 1989 to 1991, and the WBC Light Heavyweight title from 1994 to 1995. A slick, hard-hitting technician in the ring, McCallum was known for his exceptionally durable chin and toughness, and was never stopped in any of his five losses. He earned his nickname of "The Bodysnatcher" due to his ability to land vicious body punches in fights. McCallum was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2003. In 2011, The Ring magazine ranked him as eighth on their list of the "10 best middleweight title holders of the last 50 years." McCallum retired with an excellent professional record of 49-5-1 (36 KO's).

The original and only “bodysnatcher”. His fights with Toney were textbook boxing clinics wrapped up in wars.

[alanalanov]

Real boxing fans will never forget McCallum. Underrated warrior and one of the best boxers of the last century. Brilliant tribute, as always, ty.

[irvinmorales]

The fact that James Toney put this man over Roy Jones as the best he ever faced should speak volumes.

[cerromeceo]

Extremely underrated. I loved his style of fighting. Trained by the great Eddie Futch

[hanankalid]

This Guy Stopped Jullian Jackson when he Was Taking Souls And Rotating Chins With a Single Punch ...

[clarkkent]

One of the most underappreciated boxers of all time

[jerrymyers]

Great fighter, one of my favorites back in his day. I still recall watching him piece up Donald Curry and Julian Jackson. His fight with James Toney is a classic.

[B-Rai]

A fighter that truly earned his nickname. McCallum was a savage to the body. Powerful yet fluid and accurate.

[BrandonReyes-virm]

In case anybody was wondering about the song name it's called rhyme asylum solitary confinement

[cesarflores]

One of the most underrated fighters of all time. Very cool headed and methodical, this quiet assassin stared down and fought some of the greatest to ever lace them up. It's a pity he was past his prime when he faced Toney and RJ, but he was still a force. In his prime, he along with Tommy Hearns, Terry Norris, and Tito Trinidad, considered the best 154lbers of all time.

[punchmechanic]

Savage and ruthless beauty...McCallum had bad intentions behind every punch. Thank you .... pure 🔥💯🥊

[lifeisblessed]

Mike covered 2 eras and has fought the best the rest just refused to fight him, Prime Mike McCallum was one dangerous man top 5 Middleweights of all time for sure....Bless

[Grudeman]

Every skill a fighter could wish for mike had! He is without question one of the best boxers in human history, CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED, there isn't a middleweight alive now or in the last 20 years that could lace his boots. Outrageous fight IQ.

[ThePeterReyes]

To me one of the best to watch and study this guy roll and slip shots so effortlessly and counter its beautiful to watch. If you want learn master class boxing watch him, Duran and Bernard Hopkins. There are way more boxers but to study this guys are really amazing. Win, lose or draw these men were Masters of craft.

[clintflapcicle]

It was a pleasure to watch Mike at work, a brilliant fighter, , .

[matthewbrist]

I remember watching him fight on TV in the 80's. It was expected he would screw someone up! Tremendous fighter all the way around. Also the music to these videos is brilliant!!!
