Either at 160 or 168lbs
12 rounds

Who you got between two exceptional boxers in those weight classes?

i'll take Nunn by very thin decision at 160. Only because I don't believe Jones was at peak at 160.
At 168 jones destroys nunn in 8 rounds

Roy by close decision.

Nunn on points at 160, Jones at 168-points.

This is too hard for me to pick. Why? Because Michael Nunn was a sensational fighter. One of a kind. I don't know what happened to him in his fight with James "Lights Out" Toney. A great win for Toney nonetheless.

He got broken down bit by bit from Toney's accurate and hard punching. Toney takes over the momentum of the fight in the 8th and never let's it go.

I think Nunn could probably outbox Jones at 160 as others have said mainly due to Jones' relative lack of experience at that weight. Even at 160 he's got a punchers chance though. At 168 he beats Nunn much more clearly.

Nunn @ 160. Jones @ 168.

Why they did not fought each other? Avoiding in 90s was just as real as today. Would love to watch this fight. Jones by decision, something like 9-3 IMO

Nunn had lost a lot of his luster by the time Jones came into prominence really. If he hadn't lost those 2 fights in 1994 there's a good chance he'd have been a target for Jones either that year or the year after, but alas he did.

You should research Jones' actions when he was 175 pound champ and Nunn was his mandatory.
