    Anyone heard any stories about Nunn and what was going on with him in his prime? I know about his later legal issues, but was he lackadaisical in training at times? Management issues?

    I think Nunn would outpoint him, too much of an advantage in hand speed.
    I would’ve loved to have seen Collins fight Barkley.

    Addicted to the white powder. Plus he just never seemed to have the right temperament imo.

    Prime from the Tate fight would box Collins ears off and more then likely stop him. Total mismatch and Collins was never in the class of a Nunn.
    Watch Collins vs Watts and then Nunn vs Watts. Nunn toyed with Watts all fight and Collins got dropped by Watts.
    Matter of fact who did Collins really beat at middleweight in the first place?
