    How do we see this going? Can a pretty talented guy that fell short of ATG status seal the deal here?

    Great fight here and pretty tough to call imo .. GGG hasn't faced this before really, Nunn a big MW with the height and reach probably outpoints GGG early to mid rounds .. Interesting tho GGG so good at measuring distance and cutting off ring that he gets to Nunn mid to late rounds ... coin flip for me . SD Nunn

    I'd have to pick Golokin to win this.

    Good fight, but I would have to go with Nunn on this, and to get a points decision, not wide but close.

    The way a smaller Brook was able to frustrate him and catch him early with a few combos was impressive, so a bigger slicker Nunn would take it.

    Just my thoughts.

    I dont think Brook frustrated him at all. That was Kellerman miscalling the fight like when he also said G was hurt by an uppercut when in actuality he walked rt through it. Kellerman blew that fight big. Picking a favorite as usual

    GGG by late TKO, Nunn would fold under constant pressure

    Yeah, something like that.
    He had his hands full with Barkley, and was knocked clean out by Toney.
    I can't see him beating Golovkin.

    I think Nunn is the type that would give GGG trouble, and I'll go a bit further, he's beat Monzon.

    Prime for prime, hard to call, I think GGG's ability to cut off the ring, and his own jab would give him the edge on the cards. Dunn would have to be on his bike. Could be a SD type of affair. But I'll go with the aggressor throwing and landing more punches.
