Michael Nunn vs Kelly Pavlik - 160

So what the hell are you talking about then? Whenever a fighter starts to get some credit, somebody starts throwing about the word Overrated. I expected more from you, Pea.

Nunn would have handily outboxed Pavlik, and that isn't overrating the guy. In saying he was a big waste of talent, and that he should have gone on to be a lot more than he was is certainly not overrating the guy either.

Nobody is overrating Michael Nunn. He is forgotten.

 

A 2 divisional champ, with wins over Barkley, Tate, Kalamby, and Curry.

I don't have a hard on for him, because if I did, I'd change my name to 2ndToNunn. Much like if I had a hard on for Pernell Whitaker, my name would be Sweet Pea.

I haven't used the word underrated.

You're right. Nun doesn't deserve one day on ESB where there are maybe 3 threads baring his name. Perhaps if he got a draw against the likes of Chavez, his mention would be warranted. Listen to yourself.

There's a good chance a lot of posters don't know about Nunn, so I posted a video about him that I thought was interesting and notable. I made another thread matching him up against Pavlik, two lanky Middleweights, to see what the forum knew about Nunn. If anybody is being overzealous, it's you.

Which is exactly what I've been getting across.

There is no problem here, your just trying your best to be a dick.

Leave it alone.

 

:yep What's your point?

This thread was discussing how Pavlik would fair against a prime Nunn. Irrespective of whether or not I'm discovering a new fighter is simply not important or relevant.

 

You're mocking me for making 3-4 posts about a fighter who is relatively under-appreciated. I hate that. I'm sick and tired of talking about the same thing, and if I want to have one day where I discover more about Michael Nunn, I expect to be able to do it without being questioned.

How have I been overrating Nunn? I have said, from what I've seen and read, Nunn had all the ability to go on to establish himself as an ATG.

I also said, he was winning the Toney fight up until the knockout, and he was. Outboxing Toney - ordinary fighters don't do that.

Ultimately, Nunn declined and he's spending 24 years in Prison. You're saying he isn't worthy of 4 posts?

Okay, shall I only praise certain fighters that you're okay with? PM the short list, I wouldn't want to go against the grain by talking about fighters other than Calzaghe, Jones, Oscar, or Pacquiao.

It's refreshing to hear people talk about fighters like Michael Nunn. I haven't been hyping him up to be a top 50 p4p, or the greatest 160lb fighter that ever lived. Just stating facts, coupled with logical opinions.

I think he is under-appreciated. All that is ever said about Nunn is that he didn't realise his full potential. He still has more names on his record than Joe Calzaghe, a fighter I greatly respect, so it wasn't as if all he was was wasted talent. He took on and beat all the names that were there. Toney was just a hell of a fighter.

Everything else...well...that's Nunn's falt and he's paying for it.

 

:good I just don't want to be accused of overrating Nunn. I'm not saying he is anything more than he was, an ATG talent that didn't reach his full potential.

 

True

Absolutely

Absolutey

You cut out the most important part of that post where I clarified it was only similar in how each of taylors and Nunns careers went down hill afterwards. I also said it was no injustice that Toney won by KO.

.

Wrong again, Guru. I was telling them about how fabulous and under appreciated his talent and accomplishments was.

He doesn't get talked about that often, and along with the half assed performance he still had great ones. Oh wait, the KO was a fluke wasn't it Pea? How convenient for your argument.

Like I said, "ordinary fighters don't outbox Toney"

If you don't like "the air in tone" then stay the **** out of the threads.

Idiot.

I was implying that if the version of Hopkins of today can use movement to ofset Pavlik, a fighter of Nunn's balance and footwork could also. atschYou read what you want to read, don't you.

I was offended because what you were talking was bull****. The "tone" of your issue sounded like you have a problem with Nunn even being mentioned.

As long as your sorry
