    Greatest 154 pounder of all time, imo. RIP to the champ.

    "Reports indicate he fell ill on his way to the gym, pulled over, and then passed away."

    My initial guess was that cancer got him, but this description suggests either a sudden stroke or heart attack got him.

    Sounds like a heart attack or pulmonary clot.

    Very sad news. McCallum was as complete of a fighter as you can get. Tough, savvy, and beautiful technician in the ring. He may not have gotten as much love and respect as the Fab Four at the time but he definitely got so much appreciation over the years from die hard boxing fans and fellow fighters. Boxing will miss this awesome fighter.

    RIP Champ

    BTW, someone on Instagram called me a casual because I said Mcacallum would have beaten Floyd, Pac, and Canelo at 154. Smh

    I feel like young Gen Z casuals are the worst, particularly the ones you find in social media sports and music pages.

    The lack of BASIC knowledge is astounding.
