    Nunn moved up in weight only about a year after Norris won his title. Besides which Norris had yet to establish himself as an elite fighter (it wasn't until the Leonard and Curry wins that he did that) and had no reason or interest in moving up in weight at that time.

    Nunn would have destroyed Norris.
