Nunn would have a serious chance at beating him. Big height difference along with Nunn's better than average speed, movement, and awkward southpaw...
No I see your point. I think early in the fight he might give him some issues, but I think in a 15 rounder, CM catches up to him.
It can be easy to dismiss certain people because they might not have the qualities that we expect or prize the most. A lot of times people will...
Sometimes I have some of the same feelings you stated. It can be so hard to compare great fighters because so many variables are involved. If...

James Toney and Riddick Bowe!
I said the same thing not long ago and my comment was ignored. I thought back in the 90's, Roy Jones was an amazing fighter with ridiculous speed,...
