    Calz had the best career of the four.

    For pure peak, I would say 88-89 Nunn was the best of the four at his short apex.

    Nunn was not a slap avalancher...he was a counter puncher.

    This is what I immediately thought upon seeing the options.

    Nunn can get very slappy, as evident in the Barkley and fat Starling fights, but he isn't as slap avalanchy as the other three fighters on the list

    Call me crazy, but while Calz had the best career of the 4, I also think he was the worse
