Nunn and easily. Taylor was being out boxed and backed up by a smaller southpaw Cory Spinks. Imagine what a bigger, better ( at that weight) slicker, and more buiser fighter what do? Nunn in his prime was nothing to be played with, too bad he had to run into an all time great like James Toney.
Nunn TKO Seeing how Cory Spinks gave Taylor lots of trouble with his speed and boxing ability, and seeing how Taylor wasn't really able to outbox him from the outside, I'd have to believe Nunn gives him a boxing lesson. Too fast and too skilled for Taylor.
I thought that it was Spinks that won that fight , does any1 agree that he was robbd , people always ignore this questin !!! What did you (any1) think of it
...On the other hand, Nunn looked like **** against a slow-as-molasses Barkley and barely won, on the scorecards at least. He also looked less than convincing against Starling. I'd probably pick him too, but Nunn could be inconsistent. I'm not convinced it would be a whitewash, as some do.
Nunn may have looked like **** vs Barkley, but Taylor looked like **** against Kassim Ouma, and many(including me) thought that Spinks beat him. I think even a lethargic Nunn beats the hell outta Taylor, even if JT is at his best. Thats how big the talent differance between the two is.
