    Nunn at his best on points. Bhop wins more often though.

    One of the few middleweights I think who could actually outbox Hopkins. Nunn's style, with his size, reach, speed, movement would be stylistically problematic for Hopkins. If Nunn is smart and sticks to just boxing on the outside, getting off first then moving off before Hopkins can land a counter.

    But we all know Nunn could at times get drawn into trading too much. If he falls into that type of fight I could see Hopkins doing what Toney did and coming from behind to stop him. Hopkins at his best was an aggressive fighter with a high work rate he could break Nunn down if Nunn mixes it up too much.

    But if I had to put money on it I'd bet on Nunn on points.
