Roberto Duran vs. Michael Nunn at MW in 1989

Horrible, horrible match-up for Roberto. This is a one sided affair. Nunn brings to much size and voume to the table, where a very old Duran would have problems.

 

Nunn by wide UD.

 

make two of that.

 

Nunn wide wide wide UD

 

Nunn easy.

 

Much as I liked Duran,Nunn would take a wide decision.

 

Depends on how Nunn fights.If he has a lot of respect for Duran and mostly uses his movement to control exchanges and fights like he did against Tate and in most fights prior to it he should win handily.

If he lies on the inside with Duran and fights like did against Starling, Curry, Barkley, it'll be competitive, with Duran's right hand magnetised to Nunn's face throughout.Nunn should still be able to outwork him and win clearly , but i doubt he'd look that good.

 

Would Duran have a KO chance perhaps? No way he wins a decision thats for sure.

 

My man Nunn of course. Roberto was just way too old. He doesnt even belong at 160

 

...That's a quote from you, Rooster.

 

****in hell, I voted Nunn by decision when I assumed it was the Barkley version of Duran.... now times that **** by 3, Duran was utter **** vs Leonard, at least he put in 1 last great effort vs Barkely.

 

That's right. What was Ray doing fighting Duran? I thought he said he had retired for good after the Howard fight. He said it was something about his eye

I think it had more to do with his guts, or lack of them as the thought of having to face someone who could wipe the smug look off his face didnt appeal to him

with Leonard it would be a more even fight. At any rate, i didnt see leonard step forward to meet him. Did you?

 

Point being is. You acknowledge Duran as being shot in 89, but you use Leonard's win over him as a justification for calling Ray prime. It's madness, utter ****.

 

that dont mean there was anything wrong with Leonard himself. Name me one thing that was wrong with him in uno mas and I bet you wont be able to name me one thing since he won every round

I just said he was fighting old men. havent you noticed that he's always calling them out ie; Hagler, Duran, Hearns 2

Ray's problem with Nunn is that he never figured out how to deal with slick quick boxers ie; Nunn, Norris, Camacho
