I'd have to favor Nunn here. I think he'd effectively use his height, reach and skill to avoid getting into a slugfest with Basilio for the most part. Basilio's pressure was relentless so he's going to have his moments, but ultimately I don't think he'd have the power to break down Nunn and get him outta there which is the only way I could see him winning.

Nunn by UD

Nunn would box and win a fairly wide decision

Nunn's height and reach in his southpaw stance would dance and move as he would outbox Basilio behind his long southpaw jabs, left hands and combinations to take a decision.

Michael "Second To" Nunn x4... Carmen Basilio would have been too small for Nunn.
