    And why?

    The Jamaican or the American?

    I have to go with McCallum, the man who fought just after the mid eighties was devastating.

    Im sure there is another poll on this somewhere, but I couldn't find it.

    I'd lean towards McCallum here. By decision.

    If you think Kalambay gave Mccallum problems Nunn's gonna be a nightmare.Its not that Nunn was the better fighter as much as Nunn has the style that gives Mccallum fits.Nun W12 Mccallum.

    I think I'd favor Nunn.

    He could actually work the body just about as well as McCallum.

    Im surprised to see Nunn getting the nod here from most who are commenting. Do you not think the McCallum who KO'ed Jackson, McCrorie and Curry would give Nunn fits? Hmmmm. Maybe Nunns powerful southpaw stance could like you say give Mike a 'mare though.
