    Who wins in a fight and a coke-snorting contest?

    10 years ago, I would have said Nunn easily.

    Now, I'm not sure. Michael Nunn and Aaron Pryor are two fighters I came down to Earth on.

    I suppose the 88 Nunn beats the 87 Leonard, but I sure as Hell am not certain about it.

    I could see Ray pulling out a close one on intangibles alone.

    Nunn, slight favorite.

    I think Nunn could be a bad style matchup for an aging Leonard. I don't think Leonard would have the power or strength to fluster Nunn and offset his physical advantages. In fact, I think Leonard matches up with Nunn similar to how Kalamby did, although I wouldn't expect Leonard to be KO'd in that manner.
