    If you want I can send you the fight. Nunn should have gone on to achieve great things and is my all time favourite fighter. I met him when he boxed the journeyman Steve Little as a joint double header with Benn vs. Wharton.

    The two winners were due to meet in a unification bout but Little spoiled the party and my night by winning a bull**** decision. He put Nunn down in the 1st but that was the only round he won in a boring fight. Nunn was never the same after the Toney defeat despite winning another title.

    You should see his title winning effort against the unbeaten olympic gold medalist and huge favourite Frank Tate, boxing masterclass. Then his greatest night in a middleweight unification against Sumbu Kalambay, again a favourite and had never been floored in over 50 fights. Nunn sparked him out cold in 90 seconds which was something he shouldn't have been able to do.
    Nunn was great to watch, a tall, rangy southpaw with speed and power, very fluid, used good movement, threw great combinations, very good defensively. He kind of reminded me of Howard Davis but in a southpaw stance.

    I agree, he never looked the same after the Toney fight.

      He just made it look so easy, and that is hard to do.

                  how is he much more skilled? all bernard does is move around trying to avoid punishment while watching your legs in hope that you have bad foot work so he can take advantage of it like in the tarver fight but if he can't do that than he uses his famous head/right hand combo and a bunch of dirty tactics while inside thats it.bernards best wins are against ww,everybody is knocking oscar for fighting paquiao but praise bernard for beating oscar

                      Oh is that right? Funny, all I ever hear is people bitching about Bernard because all he ever fought were blown up WWs his whole career. Name one person on this forum that says beating DLH is a great win for B hop.......

                      Bu-bye!!!
