If Nunn fought the right fight, and didn't run like a rabbit and moonwalk, as he liked to, instead pressing the action and letting his hands go,...
Nunn would've beaten Jones. And no, Nunn certainly wasn't great.
Nunn didn't take a punch against Ramos or Watts - not one single shot. Absolutely, un-****ing-real. He completely dominated unbeaten Olympic...
Or Sumbu Kalambay, Kalambay being probably the best middleweight ever, with the possible exception of a '77 Hagler or '87 Nunn.

He never fought Byrd. His last loss was in the Junior European Championships in 1990 at 139lbs against a Romanian in Prague.
And Chris Eubank against Michael Watson II, R11. Another casual walk-in, absolutely picture-perfect arc he got on the shot and bang on the point...
Jersey Joe Walcott's casual, walk-in left uppercut when he won the title - great snap, great technique, great timing, and on the button.
