He is a former WBC Bantamweight champion. In addition to McCullough's dogged, relentless attacking style, he was renowned for his cast-iron chin, having taken on two of boxing's biggest punchers in Naseem Hamed and Erik Morales, and going the full distance with both of them. During his bout with Morales in 1999, HBO commentator Larry Merchant joked, "If you look in the dictionary, under 'Tough Irishman', you'll find a picture of Wayne McCullough". McCullough was never once knocked down or stopped by a fighter in his whole professional career.
