Could GGG beat Nunn?

[Anthony342]

From what I remember about him, Nunn's stoppage wins seemed to be from his hand speed, more an accumulation rather than one shot KOs or TKOs, but still had some pop to his punches. If GGG can get to him, probably in the second half of the fight, he has a shot at a stoppage win. Otherwise, Nunn cruises to a UD.

You don't think he's a big puncher? (Canelo)

No not when he fought Floyd. He has leaned how to maximize his feet, shoulders, waist and elbows since Floyd.
He was not a good puncher then, if he was Floyd would have past.

He had 30 KOs when he fought Floyd.

He has 34 KOs now, against middling foes Liam Smith/Amir Khan/James Kirkland/Alfredo Angulo.

Doesn't seem like that big of a power surge.

[IronDanHamza]

Ditto. The guy could fight and had that speed that translates into power, in a manner similar to Jones... KALambay Barkley and Starling, Curry... Of course there are always the Ian Barkley haters lol. Dude could fight was an excellent middle weight. He was winning against Toney as well, so its not like he was outclassed in that loss.

Obviously he wasn't outclassed. If anything he was the one outclassing Toney for the most part but that wasn't exactly a difficult task.

Nunn was like Roy Jones like Adrien Broner is like Floyd Mayweather.

He had 30 KOs when he fought Floyd.......................

against who, Mr. Frito and the jolly bandidtos?

Liam Smith/Amir Khan/James Kirkland/Alfredo Angulo
wow theres a dooms day list, ATG's?
Khan falls down three times on the way to the ring.
Angulo, Kirkland, Khan & Smith are ALL after lil' Floyd.

Canelo has improved more than any other current top tier boxer in the last 4 years.

Hitting Liam with a body shot and stopping him only proves that Canelo is a power puncher to Liam. Who the hell is Liam Smith, he just fought a 4 rounder in his return
a 4 rounder!!!!!

Not difficult to you because you have a biase against Toney. Apparently against Nunn as well. Hey I have my biaseas well...But Nunn beat some great fighters and is considered to have some talent and some would have put him against Jones, he wouldn't have done worse than Toney! lol.

No It's just a fact.

Jones, Tiberi, Johnson, Nunn amongst others outclassed him for extended periods.

Nunn actually beat zero great fighters. He beat a handful of good-very good fighters that most of which were passed it.

Lost or struggled against a handful of average fighters. He was nothing special.

That's exactly what his point is son.

Knocking thise guys out doesn't exactly prove that his power is leaps and bounds more than it was in 2013.

Its an opinion, sorry look up the definition when you have a chance, there is no objective statement regarding what some people call very good versus great... You have a low opinion of Toney others do not. Very good...great lol. Lets split some more hairs shall we? lol Nunn was not a an all time great fighter but was talented and yes beat some very good fighters. You have a hard on for Toney... At least admit it

I don't quite understand why people throw the word great around like it's nothing. You just said very good and great is splitting hairs. No it's not.

"Nunn was a great fighter" No he wasn't.

"Nunn has wins over great fighters" No he doesn't

It's not an opinion because these things actually happened in real life. Toney was outclassed for periods on a number of occasions that is a fact.

Toney was outclassed by Jones...period. He lost other fights, looked like crap at times but was not out classed.

Let me esplain Luuucy about the word 'great'. Great can mean very talented or like an all time great. So For example, Thurmon Munson was a great catcher...Probably not an ATG though, some of is might argue otherwise ahem. Great can mean very good. See? Like Toney was a great fighter but not an ATG. Thats not throwing the word around thats acknowledging talent.One can say Nunn was a great talent as in better than good, or even very good... Thats not calling him at All Time Great.
