    Interesting.

    Toney rated McCallum higher, though.

    I wouldn't say every way, no chance at all he hits harder than Jackson.

    Nunn was just so fast and talented. At his best he could give any 160 in history problems i reckon.

    Yes, Jackson hit a helluva lot harder than Nunn ever could.

    The fight was indeed a lot closer in my opinion. I had Nunn up by two points at the time of the stoppage.

    Im figuring u havnt seen his fight with curry where it was even after 8 and curry had outboxed nunn cleanly in many spots....that was a fight curry in his aged shot state threw away....the curry of even mccallum vintage would have finished the job

    Is Nunn still in Nick? Pity it wasn't diet coke. If he had been some ****** from Hollywood would have got a fine.I remember watching the curry fight his trainer kept shouting LET THE RIGHT HAND GO over and over again. Did my head in. Nob.
