    If we're talking about the Nunn of 88 moving up to 168, then I'd pick Nunn in a heart beat. He was a far superior talent to Joe.

    Which part is crap or incorrect?

    What is transparent? Picking the best SMW ever to beat a good fighter who had many of his big wins against fighters who had been from lower divisions
    How did Calzaghe have a suspect chin?
    Never on bambi legs, never had to hold to survive

    who they fought and WHEN
    stop sugar coating careers when it suits you

    EDIT : "best SMW ever" is up for debate. but i'm not surprised to hear you say this so emphatically

    Look at who Nunn fought and when and try and tell me its better than Calzaghe at SMW, or even LHW.

    this is what is transparent...
    where did I suggest that nunn could remotely be compared to calzaghe?

    like I said - who they fought and WHEN

    you didn't need to do this. it insults people who know what they are talking about, and achieves nothing

    How did that show a suspect chin? Many fighters get dropped. Do you think when Hopkins caught Calzaghe standing square on that Calzaghe was down and nearly out :lol::patsch. Calzaghe got up and went after him.
    Marquez has been dropped many times. I think even double figure amount of times, yet he has a good chin.
    Calzaghe wasnt once on weak legs and got up to go on the attack.
    Look at how Mundine got dropped by Ottke, yet Echoles who put Hopkins down wasnt able to KO Mundine.

    I do see why you are upset after I showed you the predictions you wish you never made about picking Jones to beat Calzaghe before they fought

    So once again, who do you think Nunn fought that compares to Calzaghe at SMW or LHW. Lets see what you write, but I think you will hide

    I am not upset you proved my point with the jones fight :lol:And again Joe was dropped by journey men,faded fighters and guys that were never proven to have pop.
    Nunn would have had no problem testing that chin.

    I don't...
    the negative comments to you had nothing to do with nunn being compared to calzaghe, because in my opinion nunn isn't in calzaghe's class

    you're getting ahead of yourself, because I've never suggested once that nunn compares to calzaghe
    don't get so defensive so fast. read what people are writing to you

    Tell me when you saw Calzaghe on wobbly legs holding to survive?
    You are unable to answer and ducked what I wrote.
    I didnt prove a point to you other than how you have tried in hindsight to call a fight and failed :lol::patsch.
    So was Jones being dropped by Del Valle a one off as Girard wasnt dropped by Del Valle? See how silly that is. They could fight 10 times and Jones may have never got dropped by Del Valle again.
    Fact is you cannot answer and when you try, you end up painting yourself into corners with me :oops:
