I consider it the best middleweight title bout of the last 35 years-since Hagler-Hearns. How do you guys rank it ?

It was excellent, but no, Toney-Nunn was better. Hagler-Hearns was great obviously, but too short.

I think Nunn-Toney was too one-sided prior to the knockout for the overall bout to be # 1 in the time frame of the last 35 years.

I won't call it one-sided. Nunn had a lead, but they both had plenty of moments.

Agree, Nunn was ahead but had to work hard, Toney was in the fight all the way through, the McCallum fight was just a brilliant display of world class skills and temperament.

Nunn-McCallum would have been a great matchup.
