Believe it or not,I think Michael Nunn would win that fight he was just as slick an quick as Hearns was,also very talentive just as Sugar Ray was.

Nunn was a very talented and skilled boxer with lovely movement and deceptively hard punches. Hearns would stalk him relentlessly though and Tommy had a very hard jab. If Olajide could last the distance with the middleweight Hearns then I think Nunn would too, I don't think he'd land enough hard shots on Hearns to get the nod though.

Too close to call

I think the Nunn that stopped Tate, Kalambay and Roldan would catch Hearns inside of about 6 and stop him. Tall, fast, hardhitting Southpaw spells trouble for the Hitman.

YOUR KIDDING YOU SHOULD BE LOCKED UP FOR COMPARING NUNN TOO LEONARD, HEARNS WOULD HAVE DESTROYED NUNN.

I just thought Hearns & Nunn would be a interesting fight,but yeah your right Leonard was way better than nunn.

How can anyone be better than Michael "Second To" Nunn?

I think it would have a really competitive fight as well. Always thought highly of Nunn.

So do I [think highly of Nunn] see him put Kalambay away unbelievable and he was a dangerous fight at that time some say too dangerous.

Thats right Nunn did put Kalambay away in the first round,the so called dangerous fighter,your not giving Nunn of credit he deserves,he was a little better than u think he was.Nunn also beat to other great fighters by the name of Marlon Starling & Donald Curry.

curry was a shell of the welter version.............be fair now

Curry still held a title before

As good as Donald Curry was, I can't picture him beating someone as big and talented middleweight like Michael Nunn. I know when they fought, Curry was washed up, but prime vs prime, I see "Second To" Nunn winning anyway.

The great Thomas Hearns vs Michael Nunn is an interesting matchup for me. I call that one a toss up. It's hard for me to pick a winner.

Curry was shot--and too small-- and Starling was way too small---Outside of Kalambay what did Nunn ever do? Hearns!!! all time great---way better opposition---Nunns best opponent knocked him out!

This would go like hearns vs Virgil hill with Tommy outboxing Nunn, hearns could be roughed up but that's not Nunn's style I just don't see Nunn being able to win this

Hearns outboxes Nun with harder punches and finally takes him out around rd9.
