Highlights of the legendary 3 weight world champion. The Body Snatcher at his sublime best!
Mike McCallum - Was a Jamaican former professional boxer who competed from 1981 to 1997. He was a three-weight world champion, having held 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 iron 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. Sadly, McCallum passed away on Satuday after falling ill when travelling to a gym. My sincere condolences go out to his family and friends at this time, I just had to post my tribute of him out of my immense respect for his skills.
