Yeah I think Nunn was with King and that was an option for Benn. That would have been a tough fight for Nigel.

He was made an example of. He paid dearly--twice the sentence of what it should have been. And far more than a rapist would have gotten.

When you think of Nunn, you think of words like articulate, affable, good looking, tall, left-handed, stylist, speed, sharp reflexes, fantastic foot movement, great technique, and solid defensive skills. He also had an unappreciated ability to take out his opponents with power punching and the record bears this out. He was a rangy and slick southpaw who gave his opponents fits and was a master of the slip and slide move. His jab was a punishing jackhammer. These were his trademarks in the ring and provided great entertainment. Unfortunately, his career defining fight ended by a sudden and brutal knockout at the hands of James Toney in a fight that affirmed Toney’s nickname “Lights Out.”
