Legend Michael Nunn chooses best boxer of all time between Muhammad Ali and Floyd Mayweather


Michael Nunn, a former middleweight champion and one of the most skilled fighters of his generation, shared his thoughts on the age-old debate about the greatest boxer of all time. Despite acknowledging Floyd Mayweather Jr.‘s flawless 50-0 record and technical brilliance, Nunn placed the honor elsewhere.

In a 2023 interview with Vlad TV (via Essentially Sports), he explained why his admiration is firmly rooted in the past, with legends like Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Robinson.I’m just a Muhammad Ali guy, and a Sugar Ray Robinson guy. Even a Sugar [Ray] Leonard guy,” Nunn said.

However, Nunn said that Mayweather is a “great fighter” and acknowledged his 50-0 record as “a crown achievement moment,” while expanding more on their relationship. “I say Floyd is my dear friend. I’m not saying anything against him,” he said.

“Because he thinks I’m one of the best fighters, well, I’m one of his favorite fighters, and he’s definitely one of my favorite fighters, you know,” Nunn added, underscoring the camaraderie between the two boxing greats.

Nunn himself knows greatness firsthand. Known as “Second to Nunn,” the former champion was renowned for his speed, skill, and southpaw style. During his prime in the late 1980s and early 1990s, he captured titles in multiple weight classes and defeated top contenders. However, his career ended when he was sentenced to 24 years in prison for drug trafficking in 2004, being released in 2019.

The greatest boxer of all time: More than boxing?

When it comes to determining who is the “greatest boxer of all time”, there’s always other factors that are taken into account, apart from numbers: legacy, impact, technique and more. In that sense, Ali’s legacy went more beyond impressive bouts.

Ali was not just a boxer but a cultural icon, also known for his activism and defense of civil rights, inspiring millions around the world and leaving an indelible mark on history.





Michael Nunn, a boxing legend in his own right, recently weighed in on the age-old debate of who is the best boxer of all time: Muhammad Ali or Floyd Mayweather. Nunn, who held world titles in multiple weight classes during his career, had high praise for both fighters but ultimately chose one as the greatest of all time.

In an interview with ESPN, Nunn explained his reasoning for selecting Muhammad Ali as the best boxer of all time. “Ali’s impact on the sport of boxing and on society as a whole cannot be understated,” Nunn stated. “His charisma, his skill, and his ability to transcend the sport make him a true legend in every sense of the word.”

Nunn also acknowledged Mayweather’s incredible skill and undefeated record but ultimately felt that Ali’s influence and legacy set him apart. “Mayweather is undoubtedly one of the best defensive fighters of all time, but Ali’s impact goes beyond his in-ring accomplishments,” Nunn added.

While the debate between Ali and Mayweather will likely continue for years to come, it’s clear that Michael Nunn holds Ali in the highest regard as the best boxer of all time.

“You’re really giving boring” – Baddies Midwest Natalie Nunn warns Jazmin and Emma for underperforming


During episode 10 of Baddies Midwest, released on December 29, 2024, executive producer and cast member Natalie Nunn gathered the “Baddies” around the bonfire, urging them to step up their energy during an upcoming club booking. The producer hinted that underperforming cast members risked removal from the show.

Later in the episode, just before departing Cleveland for Chicago, Natalie asked the cast to vote on who they thought should go home for not doing enough. The majority vote went to Emma and Jazmin, with Natalie announcing that the two would ride the bus with the newbies while the OGs would decide their fate while flying on a private jet.

Natalie revealed that upon arrival in the next city, the cast members on the private jet would discuss Emma and Jazmin’s fate with her. In a confessional, Natalie expressed her concerns that Emma and Jazmin were not bringing enough excitement to the show, hinting that their time on the series might be limited.

“I had to let Emma and Jaz know you’re really giving boring, you’re falling behind, and it’s just like probably time for you guys to head up out of here,” said Natalie.


What other events took place in Baddies Midwest episode 10

The latest episode of Baddies Midwest kicked off with a violent altercation between PrettyP and Badd Dolly, sparked by Dolly’s attempt to defend Summer. PrettyP emerged victorious, leaving Dolly with further injuries to her already bruised arm, for which she received some medical attention. Ivori later expressed admiration for PrettyP, acknowledging that many cast members unfairly targeted her.

Ivori pointed out that PrettyP avoided confrontations with other cast members, making Dolly’s decision to fight her over Summer puzzling. The conversation gained some heat, with Scotlynd and Emma engaging in a leg-split challenge as accusations of being boring flew. Tensions simmered as Dolly confronted Big Lex for not supporting her during the fight with PrettyP.

Lex defended her actions, explaining that PrettyP initially fought Summer, not Dolly.

“PrettyP called out Summer, not Dolly. So, I wasn’t gonna jump in Summer’s fight. I didn’t expect Dolly and PrettyP to fight when they did. Dolly’s hands were f*cked up, and I was perfectly fine. I was gonna have my b*tch’s back,” expressed Big Lex.

Despite the cast’s exhaustion with fighting, they performed together at a Cleveland club. However, the night took a turn when Ivori referred to Cleveland as “her city” during the performance, sparking tension with Big Lex. Ivori took offense to Lex’s reaction and later called out anyone willing to confront her, including Lex.

Natalie announced that the cast would travel to Chicago in two separate groups, one on a private jet and the other on a bus. As mentioned, speculation swirled about potential eliminations as Natalie gathered the cast to discuss the fate of certain members.

During the bus ride to Chicago, when Big Lex inquired about Diamond’s beef with Akbar, Diamond couldn’t help but criticize Akbar, implying that she should be the one departing the Baddies Midwest cast. While on the plane, many cast members sympathized with Emma’s plight, particularly given her child’s cancer diagnosis. They believed continued appearances on the show could provide Emma with much-needed financial support.

Ultimately, Natalie decided to grant Emma more time. Upon arrival in Chicago, the original cast members checked into their hotel before the newcomers. At the rented accommodation, Natalie orchestrated a prank, pairing Ivori’s name with Big Lex’s. Ivori took offense to this upon discovering the room assignment, sparking a heated confrontation that escalated into a physical altercation between Ivori and Big Lex.
