Damn.

RIP, Bodysnatcher.

Was it just a coincidence that all four of The Four Kings Duran Leonard Hearns Hagler all dodged Mike McCallum? Or did they know something, based on how badly McCallum dominated Hearns in sparring in Kronk that the outsider from Jamaica really was "The One King"? In this interview, McCallum silenced Hagler and put him in this place in Canastota...

RIP to a true legend. One of the best body punchers we have ever seen. Arguably the best Light Middleweight ever too. RIP champ.

Sorry to read of The Body Snatcher passing at a relatively young age. At least it wasn't a drawn out decline in suffering. Goodnight Mr. McCallum , thank you for the memories. Rest easy Champ.

He's body snatching in heaven now.

Rip not many fighters can actually say they were ducked by Haglar, SRL, and hearns, they didn't want the McCallum smoke!

Thank you for this splendid article. Mike was one of my five favorite fighters of all-time, along with Salvador Sanchez, Aaron Pryor, Pernell Whitaker and Jimmy Young.

His passing saddens me deeply. We've lost another All-Time Great.

R.I.P. Mike

This is hard to swallow. Still young enough, but evidently someone up there was in need of training in body shots.

Farewell, Mike.
