Could a prime Michael Nunn be able to beat Roy Jones Jr at Middleweight?

Imagine close to that talent and speed but never being off-balance, a few inches longer/reachier out of a southpaw stance and with perpetual ring movement….better founded than leaping in and out, incredibly smooth/flowing. Maximising what you have with straighter punches etc. yes Nunn can win this without a doubt imo. Fast fast feet, a calmness about him even if staying in range

 

I always thought Nunn would give Roy trouble. But at 160 or 168, do I think Nunn would win? No, I do not. Roy was just too good.

 

The Nunn from the Tate fight has a good chance in my opinion. Would I actually pick him to win? Probably not, I'd give the edge to Jones by decision but it wouldn't be easy.

 

A prime Nunn would be a very tricky match top for anyone based on his physical gifts, skills, style and size .. that said it's very hard to pick against a prime Roy Jones against anyone, every from 160 to 168.

 

To me Roy's prime was at 168-175. At 160 he was still a bit green.

 

He was bigger than most middleweights.

 

Nunn had the height and reach advantage

 

It's a very fair argument based on his short stay at 160 , I guess more of my leap of faith ..
