    I'd take Nunn by UD.

    Nunn on his best night Kessler can't touch, on his worst well I think Nunn would be in trouble.

    He barely scrapes by Iran Barkley, then he beats Sterling and Curry before outboxing Toney for 9 rounds before getting Poleaxed in the 11th.

    I mean all things being equal he stops or wins a wide decision over Kessler, but he wasn't the most consistent guy.

    When I said "prime" Nunn, I'm refering to him at his best. Like when he beat Tate, and Roldan.

    I don't think Kessler would have a snowman's chance in hell.

    I think I agree, and I'm a Kessler fan. But Nunn would be too fast, and hit from too many angles for the robotic Kessler to handle.

    I said UD... but on the version that beat Tate might stop Kessler.

    I'm a fan too but the number Calzaghe did on him I think Nunn would basically do the same. Interesting to see how he fares against another fast, athletic fighter in Andre Ward, although we would be getting way ahead of ourselves if we compared Ward to Nunn or Calzaghe.

    Ward has nowhere near the talent level that Nunn had. Nunn at his best was easily a top 10 all time TALENT.... just a shame he could never sustain it.

    :yep

    Just like the guy in your avatar. He could have been the best heavyweight ever if he had his head on straight.

    Agreed. But at least Tyson accomplished more than Nunn. Nunn's prime was toooo short.

    Kessler by knockout. Nunn's chin was not very good at all, neither was his stamina.

    Nunn would outbox Kessler all night long...Nunn at his best UD, Nunn on an off night SD.

    Im a huge fan of Kessler but he would be too slow to keep up & definitely find himself being 2nd to Nunn

    ?? Nunn had a good chin. Only been stopped once, by Toney, in over 60 bouts.

    I respect Kessler a lot, but a prime Nunn was VERY fast, with great jab and skills. I favour Nunn here, by decision.

    Nunn, he'd be far too slippery for Kessler
