Gene Fullmer vs. Michael Nunn
15 rounds, who wins? 160.
Re: Gene Fullmer vs. Michael Nunn
Too much size in Nunn's favor-plus he's fast and a lefty. Decision for Nunn.

Re: Gene Fullmer vs. Michael Nunn
I don't know about that. The great Gene Fullmer was one of the toughest and toughest competitors in boxing history. He could really make a fight ugly on his favor.
Fullmer was a brilliant ring strategist. For boxers like Michael Nunn, he would suffocate Nunn with lots of pressure. Just like he did the great Sugar Ray Robinson.
With sluggers like the great Carmen Basilio and others like Florentino Fernandez, he would box, using left jabs and movement. It sounds crazy about his approach to a fight for Fullmer, but, is just like that. Fullmer was very smart. And indeed, very strong.
It would be an ugly fight. Fullmer always makes it his way....ugly.
It's the great Gene Fullmer for me in this one. I don't think that Nunn has ever fought somebody that would give a lot of pressure.
Fullmer by split decision or late stoppage. He was too strong to get rattled or out boxed.

Fullmer by UD. A bit tougher, and over the 15 round distance, he will get to Nunn at some point.
