    Does anyone know if they were unfair ones?

    He lost a SD to Steve Little in the UK, and a SD years later to Graciano Rocchigiana in Germany.

    His UD loss to Frankie Liles was also close.

    Anyone remember any of them?

    I find it impressive that Nunn managed to go 58-4 over the course of a nearly 20 year career while being lazy and on drugs for a large chunk of it.

    I know that the Nunn-Rocchigiani fight was one of those tricky ones where one guy landed a lot more shots (Nunn) while the other landed all the heavy stuff (Rocchigiani), so that was a tight one to call.

    The Little fight I heard was correct, with Nunn fighting very sloppy.

    No idea about the Liles fight.

    And for a couple of points his life could have gone a whole different direction.

    He lost to Rocky fair and square-He did throw more punches but his were slaps mostly.
