    Let's see ... Nunn would have four inches in height, eight inches in reach, he's three times faster than Valdes, and Nunn was a big middleweight, whereas Valdes started as a lightweight.

    Nunn TKO 1 or 2 ... like the Kalambay or Curtis Parker fights.

    A former lightweight would be hard pressed to survive against a prime Michael Nunn.

    Nunn stopped top middleweights like Kalambay, Roldan and Parker - who were known for their durability but were on the short side - in no time at all.

    Nunn blows out Valdes. Valdes has no advantages over Nunn at middleweight. None.

    LMAO @ Nunn blowing out Valdez early.

    In any event, Nunn by UD most likely. BUT... Valdez is one of the biggest punchers in middleweight history. Any loss of focus from Nunn, and Valdez lands that right hand, and Nunn would be in deep ****.

    However, Nunn on his A-game is too talented a technician for Valdez.

    What? No he wasn't. Hell, Nunn had a higher KO percentage at middleweight than Valdes did, and Nunn knocked out better fighters at middleweight. And Nunn wasn't one of the biggest punchers in middleweight history, either.

    But his enormous speed advantage, huge size advantage (four inches in height, eight inches in reach), and better power at the weight would blow Valdes away.

    No disrespect to Valdez, but he gets outclassed badly by Nunn.

    I cant believe wat im reading from u.
    Didnt Monzon have height and reach on Valdez too.
    You cant sit here and honestly tell me Nunns shot on Kalambay wasnt a one in a million shot.
    Besides that Valdez was too durable for Nunn to just walk over.
    Not happening.

    Ridiculous post...at most, Nunn had a chgance to outpoint Valdez,...MAYBE....that is if he didn't connect on Nunn's chin. Nunn didn't have the whiskers of Monzon, and Valdez hit much harder than Toney. 3 round ko for Nunn? What in the hell are you smoking?

    And that's what it was...a one in a million shot. Loosey-goosey Nunn would never have done that **** to Valdez.

    Speed kills. Monzon (who Nunn was a couple inches taller than) didn't have a fraction of the speed or defensive skills of a prime Michael Nunn. Size, speed, power ... Nunn was better at Valdes at everything. Nunn beat and stopped better competition at middleweight.

    It's a mismatch. Complete and utter.
