    I dont know if lucky is the word.

    But Jones career has been very cleaverly staged and after beating a shell of a Toney he took like 8yrs off. I still think if he had fought Nunn, McCallum, Benn, McClellon or Eubank he would have lost at least once.

    I dont know if I can say Jones was lucky not to have met Nunn cuz IMO Jones is possibly the greatest ever so I think he would have won . He beat Hop and Toney and I think he probably would have outpointed Nunn too .

    Having said that I reckon Nunn would have been a nightmare for him . Jones got Mcallum at the right time, He'd have stopped Benn and outpointed Eubank and Mclennan IMO but Nunn would have given him hell and it would be a close fight . Interestingly Collins said that if he were to meet Jones back in the 90s he probably would have lost . Prime Roy is just something else.

    Watching Michael Nunn before the Iran Barkley fight he was something special and had great reflexes and handspeed that is up there with Roy Jones Jr........

    If Michael Nunn would have stayed away from drugs he would have given Roy Jones Jr a hell of a fight because of his height speed reflexes he truly was special before he messed his life up.

    They missed each other by the time Roy was ready, Nunn was on the downslide. So Nunn was lucky not to have fought Roy.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I think Roy would have KO'd him. Toney did and IMO he didn't hit as hard as Roy.

    He was good, but neither his handspeed nor his reflexes were at Roy's level, they were good, but not quite that good.
