    You mean nobodies like Tate,Roldan,Barkley and Kalamby? Havent heard from you in a while but i see that your back where you left off, still making a tool of yourself.

    Nunn is a full class ahead of Calzaghe, just less well known to the current generation. The fight is a mismatch.

    I wouldn't really want to see this one.

    It could go either way, who knows? Nunn was a really good boxer at MW, better than Calzaghe. He wasn't quite so good at 168 though.

    I'll go with Nunn because he proved himself against better fighters. Toney stopped him, I know, but Joe's not in Toney's league. Nunn by UD in one of the most boring maul ups ever.

    Why is it all the NUnn bum boys have terrible Vcash, all of them added together don't amount to mine :patsch:patsch:rofl:rofl:rofl

    Nunn didn't beat anyone of significance except for a faded old Curry.

    There is no blueprint to beat Zaggers. None. He was simply unbeatable, as his perfect record shows. 46 fights, 46 victories. 46 and 0.:deal:happy:happy

    Even prime Nunn had a patchy work ethic...More often than not I'd say Joe slaps his way to an ugly win.

    Calzaghe would easily beat overhyped Nunn. No doubt.
    Nunn lost to Toney who struggled with nobodies. Nunn lost to Rocchigiani who Eubank took the 0 of and who Calzaghe clearly beat. Nunn lost to Liles who was KOd by Mitchell who was KOd by Calzaghe
    Look at the obvious form line. Nunns big wins are often against smaller fighters

    You guys who say Nunn never beat anybody and wasn't that good haven't seen Michael Nunn. One of the most talented fighters in the history of boxing. While he had talent, what he didn't have was character and discipline. They did him in.

    It's difficult to imagine how anyone without serious punching power beats a prime Nunn. He was just that good a boxer.

    But the thing that goes for Nunn on this site in this fantasy matchup is that he is an American. :-:)dead:barf

    Prime Michael Nunn for me.. in his prime he was P4P#2 in an era full of talent, better than this one or the early 2000s. Calzaghe would win a decision against a past his best SMW Michael Nunn tho, in a competitive fight.

    Toney did not stop Nunn with one shot though. Nunn dominated for the first half of the fight, but Toney put in some good body punches, then Nunn tired in the second half while Toney stepped up the pressure. Toney turned the tables on Nunn in rounds 8, 9 and 10 and went for the KO in round 11.

    Thats about it as well.
    The form line clearly favours Calzaghe to beat Nunn into oblivion.

    Nunn lost to Toney who lost to Jones who Calzaghe beat
    Nunn lost to Liles who lost to Mitchell who Calzaghe beat
    Nunn lost to Rocchigiani who lost to Eubank who Calzaghe beat


    At SMW Nunn even lost to 21-13-2 S Little :lol:



    Anyone who truly believes that Nunn would beat Calzaghe are clueless, though I doubt many really believe that Nunn could have beaten Calzaghe, it just tends to be American fans that cant accept that Calzaghe BEAT Hopkins, Jones, Americas 2 best SMWs of the decade and every other American SMW he faced.

    Nunn would just have been another name to add next to Hopkins, Jones, Lacy, Brewer, Manfredo, Sheika, Mitchell etc
