    I recently watched McCallum vs Graham again I scored it a draw based on that and the fact McCallum got schooled by Kalambay the 1st time I think Nunn is a bad style match up for him and wins a decision.

    If this fight was 15 rounds then maybe McCallum would have a chance of breaking Nunn down and stopping him late but over 12 I don't think so.

    I like Nunn but I don't rule out McCallum coming from behind to score a late KO.

    By far his best. Couldn't handle Nunn's lateral movement.

    True, Nunn is a pain in the azz for everyone.
    Toney had to thank God he was powerful and slick to catch that flying chin of Nunn,not so sure for McCallum though.

    Nunn is stylistic poison for McCallum. 116-112 Nunn, if we are doing best vs. best.
