I like both fighters. But I would place my money on Nunn to win a decision

Even though Hopkins is a better fighter, and obviously more consistent. Stylistically I feel like this matchup favors Nunn who would present all of the same problems for Hopkins that Chad Dawson did.

Though Hopkins losing many rounds, and coming back to stop Nunn later in the fight wouldn't be inconceivable.

Michael Nunn in his prime was special. Beautiful to watch. I would have picked Nunn in a fight against the great Bernard Hopkins.

Nunn by decision.

Since everyone is ignoring B-Hop's accomplishments at middleweight, Nunn would have his moment outboxing B-Hop behind his southpaw jabs and combinations in the early rounds, but B-Hop would comeback by jabbing back and countering Nunn with sharp combinations to take a decision.

Nunn by a UD.

A bit too tall and rangy, with good reflexes.

Nunn is about an inch and a half taller than B-Hop.
