Hit Man Hearns Against Nunn - Supermiddle?

Just a suggestion but the title should read - Hit Man Hearns vs Second to Nunn.

 

Just watched a lot of Michael Nunn fights, and he looked spectacular against Tate. That being said against Tommy I see the fight being similar to the Virgil Hill fight. Competitive long to mid range chess match with The Hitman winning by SD.

 

To beat Hearns the opponent has to be able to weather the storm.
Take some to give some, press him, and not allow him to
get full leverage on his punches.
Boxing him from a safe distance and cautiously just didn't work.
That was proven in his unlikely victory against Virgil Hill
that I thought he'd lose.
Hearn's by the time he fought the bigger, younger, supposedly
faster Hill was seen as past his prime.
His legs were usually on life support after four or five rounds.
Yet because Hill fought cautiously Hearns dictated the pace
behind his still excellent jab and threat of his right hand,
won the fight.
I see the same result against Nunn.
Nunn would give Hearns the room to work, and that
almost guarantee's he loses.
Also, let's not forget Hearns's was still plenty lethal,
as he showed in his fights against Shuler, and Maynard
he still could light up an opponent if they gave him
the opportunity.
I see Hearns beating Nunn by UD.

 

When has Michael Nunn ever been known as a power puncher?

A slick boxer, yes, but not a power puncher.

 

Tough choice. The Nunn who beat Tate at middle would do I think . but Nunn had gone back a bit at SW and was not Tommys best division either. Nunn on points I think . Possibly a bit of a dull decision
