Shame it had to come to that,dealing in the drug and getting caught up.....would have offered much in ways of training,And Im one who thinks he would/could have given Jones some potential problems

I thought Michael Nunn did ok against Iran Barkley there was alot of pressure on Michael Nunn at the time after Koing Sumbu Kalambay brutally but Michael Nunn did exchange punches toe to toe quite often in the fight and boxed quite nicely i thought Michael Nunn clearly won by a few points.
Well ,it was only 19 years ago but my old cloudy mind remembers a borderline on and off track meet,then again I have no copy and probably over rated aggression as opposed to appreciating paced & stylistic boxing in my youth

Could be Nunn had little interest in being suckered into a rugged scortcher as Duran had just done prior with Menacing Barkley.Nunns mind was at times,just as sharp as his fist's.
