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.

He first became a world champion in 1984 by defeating Sean Mannion to win the vacant WBA super welterweight title.

McCallum would defend that title six times, winning all six fights by knock out.

His first prominent opponent was future two-weight world champion and future fellow International Boxing Hall of Fame member Julian Jackson, whom McCallum fought in his third title defense.

McCallum survived some punishment in the first round and came back to stop the undefeated Jackson in the second round.

1987

McCallum really came to prominence when he knocked out former WBC welterweight title-holder Milton McCrory and former undisputed world welterweight champion, another future International Boxing Hall of Fame member, Donald Curry in 1987.

1989

1991
