    McCallum 1? I thought he clearly lost that one tbh. And the 2nd fight still could have went either way. Toney had a rough time with Mike

Pacquiao is way more accomplished and was ranked more highly than Nunn was. It's ignorant to call Toney's win over Nunn better than any win n Floyd's resume.
      Dude. WHAT are you talking about?

      At their respective points in their career Michael Nunn was way in his prime (though him abandoning Goosen and getting lazy with training started to show in some performances - but that's another discussion) whereas Pacquiao was gradually sliding out of his prime for years. That is not to say Mayweather Jr. beating him should be discredited (because it's a great win), but Nunn was more prime than was Pacquiao and was more skilled than was Pacquiao. Pacquiao has great skills, but in no where in his career was he on level skill wise w/Michael Nunn in his prime years between '86-'91

        They fought 3 times, terrible boxing knowledge exposed.

            these type of threads always illuminate how weak floyd's resume really is despite being "undefeated"

            floyd's best win is either:

            1. diego corrales, good fighter, not a real hall of famer.

            or

            2. past prime one armed pacquiao.


            just look at his opponents.

            name me a bona fide hall of famer who floyd beat THAT WAS IN THEIR PRIME?


            ill wait.

            thanks in advance.

                  By the way for any one who wants to know :

                  In 1990 Michael Nunn was rated #3 pound for pound behind Julio Cesar Chavez & Pernell Whitaker

                    100% dog chit resume. Impressive to go through it undefeated but very uninspiring and always fighting guys at the right time, rather than in their prime.
