    wrong, Nunn always lost concentration at times, not good enough against Canelo

    Did he lose concentration against Tate and Kalambay? Be objective and stop cherrypicking, canelo stan.

    LOLOL using the < 1rd Kalambay fight as counter-evidence, oh how far you have fallen. That leaves just the Tate fight. Tate was not in Canelo's league.

    Nunn would win by UD or knockout early.. Which is a odd pick. Beating Smith is not the same as Nunn.

    Prime Nunn wipes his ass with Canelo. Canelo would hate that speedy southpaw style.

    A prime Nunn had the natural ability, which could more than afford him a moment or two of distraction against Canelo - who, whilst a very solid boxer, is not particularly sophisticated.

    I don't think Canelo has enough to overcome the speed, movement and ranginess of Nunn, even if Nunn were to get complacent.

    Nunn on points with a slight chance Canelo gets him late

    Nunn probably on points. I think he would best many of the past greats

    Alvarez hasn't fought anyone CLOSE to the total package
    of height, reach, speed, and ability, of Nunn . Factor in
    him being a south paw on top of all that, theirs very little
    chance Canelo would take the chance to be great and
    even get in the ring with him.
    If he did Nunn would dominate him, possibly embarrass
    him.

    I know that Nunn is Jesus around here, but Canelo is more than capable of holding his own. Canelo would bring the body attack that James Toney didn't. I see a close decision either way at 160 and Canelo stopping him late at 168.

    Canelo’s PED’s and judges could make it interesting but it’s a bad style match for him. I think Nunn would win a comfortable decision.
