Micheal Nunn

The only fighter that makes it competitive vs roy
He beats calzaghie
He beats g man
Beats benn
Beats Eubanks
Beats Collins
Beats froch

 

Quite highly,but the faded version got a gift against John Scully.

Surprised "Second To" never achieved more than he did.Always think of Mark Breland when I think of Nunn.

 

I should probably get to know about him, as my own re-collection is him being KO'd by James Toney.

 

I could cheat and go and look,but didn't he have a weird skinny neck?

He had a fabulous run that had the likes of Kalambay,Curry and Starling with very little filler.
In fact,**** it.I'm gonna go check...

In order,and all one after the other too,
Tate
Roldan
Kalambay
Barkley
Starling
Curry

Then lost to Toney.How's that for a run of wins?
That's a ****ing stonker of a winning run.Very rarely do you get a fighter taking that level of opponents one after the other these days.
Good shout EG.

 

I feel like he's very under appreciated on here. He was an excellent fighter and a h2h nightmare in his prime. Toney knocked him out with one of the few meaningful shots he landed that fight. As I recall Nunn was at times putting on a clinic and it wasn't even close on the cards. Huge scalp for toney nonetheless.

 

He was hailed as the second coming of ali, no? Until toney stretched him.

 

A monster, great defense with power. A great win by one of the p4p all time greats james toney

 

Expectations may have got a tad ridiculous,but just look at that run of victories I posted.
That run would guarantee a first ballot lock for the HOF in today's diluted criteria.

 

I've been meaning to do a Body Snatcher thread for a while so I was delighted when someone did it earlier in the week.
And I'm really glad you did this one as well Guru.
Thank you.:good

 

he was second to nunn

:nod:nod:nod:nod

 

He should be in the hall of fame.

 

after he starched Kalambay in 1 round, no one wanted to fight this guy. Hearns, leonard, Duran all those guys were still around and HBO tried to put all those together and they wanted none of NUNN.... Hearns took on Iran Barkley instead, got smashed and Barkley had the balls to fight nunn who got his ears boxed off. yeah i was a big nunn fan. he is also in prison now serving about 30 years for "distribution"
