Nigel Benn vs Michael Nunn Prime 4 Prime?

[General Zod]

Kalambay, to name one, had *never* been stopped, before or after. Nunn sparked him in one. Like I said, plenty of punch for the task at hand.

That Kalambay ko was a freak occurence, I cant think of any other time he koed anyone like that

What makes you think he would not "punch himself out" against Nunn?

He fought like an idiot in that fight, he would later on change trainers and become a better fighter. Also it was early in his career he was still practically a novice

I see... freak occurences, being green, Eubank becoming the new Julian Jackson... ok i see your "points".

You are now resorting to sarcasm? Please tell me two other fighters who Nunn blasted out like that?

Benn had only fought 22 pro fights before the Watson fight, he wouldn't fight for a title until 4 fights later. He was a rising contender, not a world class fighter back then

Eubank becoming the new Julian Jackson... ok i see your "points".

More Sarcasm?
Eubank was a big mw, he used to walk around at 180 lbs between fights. He dropped Watson with one punch, dropped Collins with one punch and dropped Carl Thompson (a cw) with one punch.

Yes sarcasm.

Nunn has his share of knockdowns of legit competition, just like Eubank.

4 fights later = less than a year

Nunn would be landing on Benn all night, he doesn't need to be a devastating puncher to break him down. He needs to be able to hurt, and he certainly was, and Benn could certainly be hurt.

Like who?

Watson had a great chin and had never been stopped by a headshot in his career. (The McCallum ko was due to McCallum's bodypunching and Watson being fatigued)
Steve Collins has never been stopped or hurt in any fight I have seen, he walked thorugh Benns best shots
Carl Thompson was a cw and Eubank had the power to drop him
Eubank could **** when he wanted to but chose not to, after the fallout of Watson II

4 fights later = less than a year

A lot can happen in a year

Benn never fought the way he did against Watson, just like Nunn was never koed again like he was againt Toney. So we can't really use either fight as guides for this fantasy fight. If I follow your logic then I will say that Benn wears him down and ko's him late like Toney did and Benn hit much harder than Toney

If Benn could walk through McClellan's shots, he walks through Nunn shots

Nunn was certainly dropping people in his fights, I can't even remember who... Roldan comes to mind, from when Nunn was on the way up. On top of that, Nunn threw more punches than Eubank



"A lot can happen in a year" yes that is of course true, including Benn magically turning into a middlewight version of a young Duran, applying his pressure very methodically, slipping punches while going to do his damage.. right...

to the bold simply LOL... It was not Toney power doing the damage there, it was his dedication to body work early on, his defense/chin getting him through the early rounds intact, and the accuracy of his counters. Benn had none of that, he would barely land anything on Nunn and he would get tattoed in the meantime. Late in the fight he would be hurt and behind, you can imagine how he would fight then, and where that would take him.

Anyway, I realize by the time of the day and your knowledge of Eubank's career that you are a brit, so I am not going to discuss this topic with you anymore.

Except with a less inane referee, he would have been out of there in 1 round.

Roldan was at the end of his career at that point, he had been in over 70 pro fights prior to the Nunn fight and had been koed by Hearns in 4 rounds.
Nunn rarely sat down on his punches and I'm sure that Benns bobbing and weaving would of given him a lot of problems

Why is it so hard for you to except that Benn never fought the way he did against Watson? If I remember correctly he went to America and started training with another trainer.

You obviously haven't watched Benn vs Eubank, otherwse you would know that it was Benn's body attack that was hurting Eubank

and he would get tattoed in the meantime. Late in the fight he would be hurt and behind, you can imagine how he would fight then, and where that would take him.

And in what condition would Nunn be in at that point?

Amazing.......

[General Zod]

Except with a less inane referee, he would have been out of there in 1 round.

Doesn't matter, he still stood and traded with McClellan for 10 rounds.
If Nunn wins this it will be on points, like he beat Barkley on points.

Like I said, I am not even going to bother, would you like to debate some non british fighters instead? Maybe you will hold more neutral views on that topic.
