The Nunn, Michaelzewski, and Eu arguments are just more fuel for my logic...

It would of been a great fight even though Nunn was way past prime at that point. I can't find any of his LHW fights, but I did see his fight with Scully and his legs were "gone", kind of like Jones's legs now.Comment

Nunn was still pretty solid at 175 but nowhere near where he was at 160. He still would've given Jones hell. I was actually quite surprised that he lost to Rochigianni but I guess he was a done deal at that point. Rochigianni was past his prime as well and I doubt he would've given Jones much trouble. He was originally slated to face Jones in January 2000 but pulled out and disappeared for some time after that. Nevertheless, the WBA's decisiont o strip him prior to that was an absolute travesty.Comment

I've tried to look for that fight but had no luck so far. Same with Liles fights, those things are like Golddust.Nunn was still pretty solid at 175 but nowhere near where he was at 160.

Nunn lost to Rochi because he could not handle the pressure he was being put under, if he could of kept the fight in the centre ring he may have done a lot better but he could not and got outworked.Nunn was still pretty solid at 175 but nowhere near where he was at 160.

Nunn never looked comfortable when pressured imo( Barkley), although in his prime he was able to pick off on the way in (Roldan) because he had better reflexes etc.Comment
