My Take
Nunn is one of those fighters who fascinates me precisely because his story refuses to be tidy. At his peak he was a slick, towering southpaw who made middleweight craft look effortless, and that 1989 Knockout of the Year still stands as a snapshot of pure talent. Yet his later conviction for drug trafficking casts a long shadow over the legacy. I find myself unwilling to flatten him into either hero or cautionary tale. What I keep is the footwork and the timing of his prime, brilliance that deserves to be remembered alongside, not erased by, the fall.
