GGG vs Michael Nunn.

Can't make up my mind on this one. Was initially leaning toward Nunn by split decision, but now I'm thinking there's probably a slightly better chance that prime Golovkin catches, hurts, and stops him at some point. Excellent matchup (but then again, I think that Golovkin and Nunn each make for excellent matchups against any elite middleweights, for different reasons).

 

Does GGG hit harder than MW James Toney?

 

Nunn is fantastically overrated. GGG all the way and in a handful of rounds.

 

Nunn is vastly underrated if anything
He beat the brakes off of Tate.
Destroyed Kalambay in 1.
TOYED with them knocked out Roldan.
And he was beating Toney easily until he started to tire.

 

Somebody picked nunn over a prime monzon. Made me laugh out loud

 

Nunn fit a template for greatness that Yanks bought into as being exclusive during the 70s, 80's and into the 90's.

The world has moved on but some like to cling to the past.

 

After seeing GGG fail to engage Danny Jacobs courageously over most of their fight, it's a stretch to see him blowing through a better version of the same style of fighter in Nunn, but the GGG fanatics see all sorts of fantasy-land outcomes based on who they wish he was instead of who he is. Betting prime Nunn stings him worse than Jacobs did and the great GGG settles in to a semi-competitive points loss.

 

And Jacobs isn't even in the same league as a prime Nunn .

 

Agreed, though Jacobs has significantly better power than Nunn.

 

Wait, I thought that GGG beat Jacobs. Has that been revised to a loss?

And I guess that Nunn's fight against extremely average Little has been revised to a W.

Wow, the more you learn.

 

Lets see .Frank Tate. Juan Roldan.Kalambay. Barkley Starling Curry.
Now name triple G's resume.
Hell two of Nunns losses were split decisions .

 

Golovkin could not knock out weak chinned Jacobs who stood in front of him for the whole fight.

He's not catching and knocking out Nunn if he couldn't catch and stop flat footed Canelo.

Hilarious how this guys fan base all cried over Canelo using some basic pivots and turns off the backfoot and then come along and claim he could turn over Micheal Nunn

Nun had more movement , stamina and work-rate in just one round than Canelo had over 4 rounds! Do the mathematics!

 

somehow Nunn got lazy and I think splitting with the Goossens hurt him in 1991 when he fought Toney. I think the 1988 Nunn who fought Tate or even the 1987 Nunn who fought Knox on the Hearns/Roldan undercard would beat GGG. He was a fast guy.
