    Between these two who do you think accomplished more during their boxing career and who was the better H2H fighter? Both were very talented southpaws with great all round skills, although they could have achieved so much more given their natural talents.

    Johnson. The Montiel fight puts him ahead.

    tough one but I'd day Johnson

    However he never had a major fight in the limelight the way Micheal had

    Did you see the way he put Kalambay to sleep? :dead

    I think resume wise Nunn edges it with wins over Tate, Roldan, Barkley, Kalambay. Mark Johnson was unlucky to not get the big fights he wanted because guys like Lopez, Tapia, and Romero avoided him like the plague.

    I feel that both of these guys were the most physically talented southpaws that had the tools to give any fighters in their division fits at their absolute best.

    I wish Mike had come along in Hagler's day. he probably wouldve been destroyed but he was still awesome
