Although people remember Nunn mostly for losing to Toney, I felt that Nunn could have been dried out too much at 160. At 168, he'd have been a force. Roy always had problems with slick southpaws, particularly tall ones. To make it interesting, I'm posting RJ vs Eric Harding, a tough southpaw but not as talented or as powerful as Nunn. Who wins?

Nunn did fight at SM and he wasnt all that great, no where near the fighter he was at Middle. He had some losses to mediocre champions at SM. However at Middle i can see Nunn posing problems for Jones with his height and just about matching Roy in the speed department. Roy had the big edge in power. At MW id just barely lean towards Jones At SM i have no doubt that Roy would have whupped Nunn and knocked him out.
