Michael Nunn vs Terry Norris

Would Terry's pressing and power be too much for a slick Nunn or would he be able to elude Terrible Terry and win a decision much like he did in the Barkley fight?

After being stopped by ex welter Simon Brown, I think Norris knew he was no middle. Even though he beat some future middle champs (Quincy taylor, Steve Little, Jorge Castro). Nunn was a massive middle.

Interesting that Nunn was supposed to have got lucky vs Marlon Starling, but I don't think Norris could've withstood going in with the far bigger (6'3 or 6'4) man

I've stood next to Michael and he is maybe 6'1"

i remember nunn towered over toney (5'9). there wasn't much difference in size between he and barkley who is listed as 6' 1, however

Nunn was a 6'2" middleweight who imo was one of the most complete fighters of modern times.

He moved up to 168 and was still world class.

Norris was a 5'9" light middle who weighed as little as 150lbs.

Nun stopped granite chinned middles, Curtis Parker and Sumbu Kalambay, and also stopped Crawford Ashely with body shots.

Nunn - Norris is a mismatch, with Nunn winning inside 4 rounds.

I agree, but I'd be routing for Norris all the way!
