    In honor of Nunn making the HOF today, I figured he needed a mythical matchup.

    Could Pavlik win this one?

    I would go with the gifted Nunn over the gritty Pavlik. I guess Pavlik has a punchers chance but prime Nunn was one hell of a fighter. Speed, Power and Skill.

    A repeat of Pavlik vs Martinez another skillful Southpaw in Nunn outpoints Pavlik.

    I like Michael Nunn to win a decision

    Nunn and it wouldn’t be competitive.

    Nunn via decision unless Pavlik can somehow hit his chin by a rally, Nunn had a gambler's chin,sometimes good sometimes awful.

    Nunn would make Pavlik look tough but inferior. Probably a decision with Pavlik being in rough shape by the end.

    Prime Nunn would dominate Pavlik. Might even stop him late.

    Nunn wasn't a blown up welterweight in there either.

    You're the first one to say this and I agree.

    I think the Tate version of Nunn does stop Pavlik late.

    Definitely Nunn in one sided fashion, perhaps even by stoppage. He was a very special fighter at his best and would have made Pavlov look second rate.
