Michael Nunn vs. Bernard Hopkins @ MW.

Years of sparring John David Jackson helped Hopkins earn a phd in fighting southpaws.

Jackson paid the price in the ring for it. Hop stopped him in their fight...

Nunn didn't have the temperament or poker face for that middleweight Hopkins assuming we're talking the best of both. Nunn seemingly thought all it took was a tremendous title defense to guarantee his star status and looked to almost run off the road of reality at his first million dollars. For all his speed of hand and agility he looked like a reluctant Peter Pan for long spells vs Barkley. While people harsh Hopkins for some 'smaller opponents' what did Nunn do after that boo fest..he fights a welterweight. Really think Hopkins was too physical and sharp in and out for Nunn.

Stylewise bad matchup for Hopkins but he could dog it with Nunn and come up with an ugly victory. If Toney got to Nunn then so could Hopkins.

I think BHop makes it ugly and takes a decision. A prime BHop is hard to beat and I don't think Nunn was durable enough to do the job.
