    Michael Nunn was excellent the night he beat Frank Tate, and would have been a problem for about anybody that night, including Hagler. Not an All-Time Great, but great for at least one night. Tall southpaw, very good hand speed, great foot work, decent power, and good upper body movement. He eventually became more flat-footed for whatever reason, and wasn't the same. Trying to think of the closest comparison to THAT version of Nunn on Hagler's record around his prime years, and struggling to come up with anybody. Anyway, as far as the fight, I think Hagler would do his best to stay in Nunn's grill, like he did in the Hearn's fight, and try to wear him down. Nunn would probably win some early rounds, but would go into survival mode when he realizes he can't hurt Hagler or keep him off. Hagler by late stoppage or UD.
