    Yes he is a mediocre part time fighter full time horrible human being...he has the attitude of a srl or fmw and his fights are dull..he would not have been top 20 in the MW division of 1987-1991.....

    Please tell me more about the Eubanks sparring sessions with Errol and Errol"s kronk sparring...I remember watching Christie-Mannion and Angelo Dundee on commentary said "Christie is the best fighter Ive seen in a long time"...

    Because Nunn had a better chin, it is really that simple

    If their was ever a fighter all wrong for Jones Jr. It would be
    M. Nunn. He was everything a fighter could be to give Jones
    hell. Tall, hard hitting, just as fast, Skilled and to top it off
    a south paw. He would be a extreme challenge to Jones.
    A challenge I don't believe JonesJr. would be in a big
    hurry to get into a boxing ring with unless the money
    was "An offer he can't refuse".
    All the physical advantages are held by Nunn.
    Since we never saw Jones have very many if
    any serious challenges in the prime of his career
    we don't know if he had what it takes to dig down
    deep and pull out a victory. Based on this I lean
    slightly to Nunn.

    So it wouldn’t have mattered how they’d have matched up stylistically, and who had more power etc?

    Stop being ignorant.

    It would have been a huge task.

    Roy would had to have fought him very aggressively.

    Michael had advantages in height and reach, but Roy was faster and more powerful.

    Nunn was extremely talented. And he was a big southpaw with great speed and a big reach.

    It would have been a very tough stylistic match up for Roy.

    I think he would have fought him aggressively and stopped him though.

    He couldn’t have boxed with him. It would have been a bad strategy.

    And Montell Griffin beat Roy Jones in his prime, and made it look quite simple, for the record.

    Nobody had seen this when they were calling Eubank a phoney for years:
