    Late 80's Nunn vs the early 90's G-man at 160... who wins?

    I'll take Nunn by UD.

    I won't.

    Those tall lanky guys that hold that chin way way up in the air are always the guys on the highlight ko reels.

    Nunn was better suited against the shorter fighters that have to reach up and work hard to get to that chin. A guy like Mcclellan has similar reach and, I think anyway, looks his best against the types with zero head movement. And Nunn didn't posess a big enough punch to prevent a guy like Mcclellan from winging away with bombs from the opening bell. Just playing the numbers game, one of those shots will reach that chin sticking straight up there and it'd be all over quick.
