Very nice match ! Nunn gets to Hearns late and stops him. Maybe Hearns would win a decision in a ten round bout.

Nobody out boxes hearns, Leonard couldn't Virgil hill couldn't and Nunn couldn't it could be a chess match or a one round blast out but hearns wins.

Both fighters were 6'1" in height. I lean on The Hitman by decision.

If they fought around 1989, Nunn by SD.

I think Hearns wins by decision or ko. Hearns was beaten by SRL,(the 1st time 2nd I thought he won),but most of his other losses were against big strong fighters and Nunn isn't that. Hearns was just as fast and equal in reach i think but much harder puncher and I think Hearns takes Nunns punches but Nun cant take his.

Hearns beats Nunn. Hearns is an ATG so would be expected to beat an elite operator like ‘Second to’.

If it's 88 Nunn is a bad matchup for Hearns. He's a fast lanky Southpaw with better reflexes than the Hitman by then. Nunn by KO in 4 or 5 rds.

Hearns' middleweight best years were from 1981-87. He fought at middleweight sometimes when he was a Welterweight and Super Super Welterweight.

I still lean with Hearns to beat Nunn by decision. That if is the Hearns of early 80s.
