Last weekend everyone was talking about Manny Pacquiao and Erik Morales getting into the 2025 and rightly so but there was more.
Referee Kenny Bayless in the officials category got in, well deserved as well.
Not enough and not many picked up on Michael Nunn getting in though, the two-weight world champion at middleweight and super-middleweight in the 80s and early 90s.
Michael Nunn Remembers Two US Boxing Legends When Getting Into 2025 Boxing Hall Of Fame
He mentioned some friends and associates in his speech but the two main inspirations from a boxing perspective that stand out that he mentioned were ‘Sugar’ Ray Leonard and Howard Davis Jr.
Davis Jr thought as one of the fastest fighters that ever lived, the likes of Pacquiao in his prime surely up there with that as well, for speed (pound for pound of all time).
American Nunn retired with a professional boxing record of 58-4-38 KO.
