    Calzaghe, probably by TKO or KO, Nunn had a glass chin and bad staimina...............

    ROFL, what a ****ing plebeian.

    Clear distance fight, I'd be sticking my neck way out in favoring Zag merely on the grounds that he had an insane engine at 168 and Nunn was best at 160.

    No finesse work, no precision, no power punching (lol - like that was an option) ... merely winning via outworking him.

    Close UD for Zag.

    Calzaghe would win nunn gets overrated and calzaghe is still underrated by many because he is not american not black and didn't fight in the 40's, 50's , 70's and 80's

    Calzaghe would be out boxed early as Nunn was the better boxer, with bigger reach and better outside game. But Calzaghe adapts, he won't have to contend with a straight right hand which he is susceptible to and will use his speed and work rate to take over in the 2nd half of the fight. Calzaghe UD, 8 round to 4. I wouldn't rule out a late stoppage though.

    you irresponsible man....
    he gets "underrated" because he stayed with war+en too long

    war+en has ZERO interest in his fighters' careers once they have a belt

    Clearly Calzaghe.

    What were Nunns big SMW wins?

    We are talking Nunn who
    - lost to Toney who lost to Jones who Calzaghe beat
    - lost to Rocchigiani who lost to Eubank who Calzaghe beat
    - lost to Liles who lost to Mitchell who Calzaghe beat
    - lost to 21-13-2 Little who lost to Liles who lost to Mitchell who Calzaghe beat

    In my opinion, Liles would be outsped, outlanded, outfought and clearly beaten, likely by stoppage

    Best way to assess. Resume.
    Look how impressive Bute looked against common opposition to Ward and Froch in general, then look at how the fight went when he fought Froch

    best way to assess is who they fought and when, so yeah
    you were brilliant the last time I was debating you. gotta leave those belts out of the equation - way too many and they are so misleading :good

    any fighter worth his salt doesn't need them in his defense, whether he's won one or not

    Nunn by UD. Better boxer of the two, better technique, inside game and better footwork.
    Calzaghe has better stamina though.
    But i think when Nunn gets tired it would be too late for him and he doesnt pack a punch and cant get rid of Nunn.

    Nunn had neither bad stamina, nor a glass chin you ****.
