NO, it's funny. I think it's more of a paradox than an oxymoron though. In a "who's on first?" kind of way.

Nunn is second to Nunn.

shza is suggesting that Nunn is expressing an opinion in his nickname, that many consider not true. I am suggesting his nickname is contradictory to his career.

But then again, why am I doing this when you are being ironic? ;)

Just because we are trying to bring a bit of class to this forum.... ;D

Now I am being condescending ;)

My suggestion was actually that Nunn's nickname was nonsensical because it translates as him being second to himself. (i.e., second to "Nunn"; not second to "none").

So in that interpretation, is that a paradox? And if the answer is yes, then how? ;)

Do not bother to answer, as Britkid is getting far too up his own arse!

Ok so let me get this straight. Your saying that Nunn's claim that he was 'second to' was actually not true because Nunn was actually not very good? So therefore 'second to' would actually be the antithesis of what Nunn was and that in fact he was 'second to' many fighters!

Ok I think I get it.

However I disagree with his name being a paradox, as according to Occam's Razor approach 'entities should not be multiplied beyond necessity', and thus we see that it is incorrect to attribute Nunn's surname as being the same as None as in nothing.

Therefore I conclude that it is something of an oxymoron as Nunn was in fact proven not to be second to none, as evidenced by his suffering of a late knockout at the hands of a young James Toney. However it is not a paradox as although typologically similar the word 'none' shares no other linguistic similarites with the surname 'Nunn' and so the two have no causal relation to each other. :-X

not to belabor this any more than has already been done, but here you go:

Main Entry: par·a·dox
Pronunciation: 'par-&-"däks
Function: noun
Etymology: Latin paradoxum, from Greek paradoxon, from neuter of paradoxos contrary to expectation, from para- + dokein to think, seem -- more at DECENT

2 a : a statement that is seemingly contradictory or opposed to common sense and yet is perhaps true b : a self-contradictory statement that at first seems true

It is the play on Nunn/None that leads to the initial truthiness here, but then once you get beyond that, you see that it's in fact self-contradictory.

Let A stand for "Nunn"; and we'll throw in the uncontroversial premises "Michael Nunn" = "Nunn" and "Michael" = "Michael Nunn" just to make it water-tight.

So the man's nickname translates to "A is second to A". Which, if not technically self contradictory (it's not "A is not A"--though you can get there in one step), is at the very least logically impossible, accepting the standard logical rules packed into the relation of "being second to."
