A 40 year old McCallum gave a prime Roy Jones some trouble for 2/3 of their fight... I think a prime McCallum would give Nunn problems. It's a close fight either way, I just think McCallum would do a little more though. Nunn had trouble with Barkley and Starling. Starling is 6" shorter than Nunn.
Nunn in 88/early 89 would of outpointed McCallum, who had become overrated because he had been underrated for so long, and had become lazy believing the hype. But Nunn was never the same after Kalambay, and McCallum seemed to be revitalized and back to top form after the Graham scare. His destruction of Watson showed he was top dog once more at 160lbs, whilst Nunn was sleepwalking his way though beating blown up Welterweights, who had seen better days...
