    Michael Nunn possessed boxing skills at a level that Calzaghe could only dream of having.
    He was the ideal model of an Angelo Dundee trained fighter.

    Who would win if they were competing with a mirror and a straw?

    nunn probably kills calzaghe.

    the only was the fight happens is if you con joe cal into thinking nunn is 45 years old, and just imagine the look of terror on joes face when he gets in the ring and it dawns on him that its prime nunn he is facing, and its now too late for him to run in terror from him to go face a real 40something or a subnational.

    no cowardzaghe trick fake injury will gethim out of getting brutally koed.

    Michael Nunn came in a time when after losing a MW title to J Toney and he would win a WBA SMW Title and was present at Old Trafford along with Don King to fight the winner of the rematch Eubank-Benn (WBO-WBC) but after the draw, he would be short lived in between guys like Tim Littles, Steve Little, Fabulous Frankie Liles. I Personally don't like to compare fighters from different times but since they are right there next to one another, Joe would be much more consistent than Nunn but Nunn only would lose clearly to big punchers, he could lose rounds to much shorter and smaller men such as Marlon Starling who lost a MD to Him tho. All in all, Joe as na exception probably wins this one by a comfortable decision.

    another duck
    Curry a former WW! who had been beaten not too long before
    Indeed. Kessler has a far greater SMW resume and was not beaten by a 21-13-2 fighter

    Seems nobody can face these questions and alot of ducking going on :deal

    the only ducking is by cowardzaghe when he sees Nunns name on the fantasy fight bill. He would run in terror faster than his cocaine suppliers during a dawn Welsh police raid.

    How do you pick Nunn when he lost at SMW to a 21-13-2 fighter at SMW?

    What were Nunns big SMW wins?

    What were Nunns big wins in any division where it wasnt a fighter who had come up from a lower weight?

    Why do you pick Nunn when looking at the form line below in that Nunn
    - lost to Toney who lost to Jones who Calzaghe beat
    - lost to Rocchigiani who lost to Eubank who Calzaghe beat
    - lost to Liles who lost to Mitchell who Calzaghe beat
    - lost to 21-13-2 Little who lost to Liles who lost to Mitchell who Calzaghe beat ???

    yeah u wish.

    how can someone you are not engaging in a conversation with, be ducking you?

    HAHA Bailey you are pricelessly funny. so desperate to make a point that you are inventing other peoples post content for them so that you can pretend you are making valid counterarguments. funny man.

    I don't know man

    Losing to robin Reid in your prime is pretty bad aswell

    Nunn lost to toney in his prime

    The best version of toney gives anyone fits in boxing history.

    Nunn held his own until he was caught

    You need to quit ducking females pal with your 13k posts.

    It's tiresome watching you inflate Joe's career and ability beyond it's genuine worth, to most discerning fans his entire resume is held together like a house of cards.

    I'd love to know where you rate him historically in this game.
