    Who wins this matchup?
    Nunn obviously wasn't at his best at 168lbs

    One guy had athletic ability and actual skill.

    The other had just athletic ability, and zero skill/brains.

    My pick is Nunn.

    A level above at middleweight. He was crap to say the least when he moved up.

    Nunn, still just about good enough to out box James.

    Nunn`s record at 168 wasn`t that good.

    He lost to Cordoba and Liles and also lost to a low level fighter, Steve Little.

    That night in London he was poor.

    He beat Cordoba and Liles and looked his dazzling self against Yonker, Crawford Ashley and whoever else.
