    Could the Leonard that beat Hagler beaten a Prime Michael Nunn?

    I think not.

    Nunn by decision.

    Gotta agree with you here, Sly. Probably pretty clear, too.

    I also like Nunn, but I think the reverence aspect is in play here. He's needlessly cautious in the early going, gives away a round here or there, & the judges do their best to be impressed by Leonard's flashy spurts.

    Nunn, closer than you guys are projecting.

    I think they meant in what actually occus. (minus judges giving Leonard rounds out of "appreciation")

    One judge scored Norris-Leonard 116-110 :lol:

    I'm saying I think Nunn contributes to the fight being closer as well, not just the judges doing their utmost to take it from him.
