    Nunn by decision. Southpaw with advantages in height, reach, and power, and at least comparable skills and mobility. I think he'd be a very bad stylistic matchup for Leonard.

    Another vote for Nunn ... Leonard beat Hagler mentally more than physically. I don't see Terry falling into the same mind traps, and would be more likely to exploit his physical advantages.

    Nunn was ahead on pts before being stopped by Toney. This version of Toney
    was young , hungry and ruthless. SRL at this stage of his career didn't have
    these attributes. Nunn too sharp , strong and awkward for a comebacking
    SRL . Nunn on pts.

    Leonard by the time he fought Hagler was on the down side of his career. His best fighting days were 4-5 yrs earlier about 15 lbs lighter. Nunn was a tall super fast NATURAL middleweight and a South paw. Ayube Kalule a southpaw troubled Leonard greatly at Jr. Middle when Leonard was at the top of his game. I can't imagine anyway Leonard could win that fight against Nunn at that stage of his career. As much as I love Leonard, Nunn by unanimous dec.

    Nunn by decision. I would not count out Leonard though
