    Toney chopped Nunn down from the body and Jr is much bigger at middle than Toney who also usually had trouble with guys who moved well. Thus Nunn should be very careful, but I can see him edging a close safety-first decision

    I disagree with Nunn winning the decision I think Junior stops him late

    In this case, I agree with you.

    Prime Nunn was more talented/skilled than Martinez.

    Nunn also fought a bunch of guys who could really box well

    Also agreed.

    The way he took apart Roldan for example was a helluva lot more impressive than the way Martinez took apart Macklin.

    I've said it before, but Nunn was PHYSICALLY the second most talented fighter to ever hit 160 behind Jones.

    A 6'2 southpaw with handspeed, power, great southpaw jab, excellent reflexes/defense, very good body puncher, and despite the late round Toney KO, had a solid chin.

    While I do think Nunn gets overrated sometimes, he was better than Martinez and significantly better than Chavez. Chavez has pretty much no chance here.

    No, for some reason Xplosive loves mythical mismatches.
