Nobody would have destroyed peak Azumah Nelson. Pernell won with scorecards of 116-112 and 115-113 if my memory is correct.
Nelson was completely unproven at 135, Duran would have landed far more power shots than Whitaker did, he was better than Nelson in every department and beat a welterweight who was one of the most dangerous fighters of that era, nothing Nelson did in his career can match that.
Duran is an all time great as is Nelson. I am not going to let you disrespect ATGs not on my watch pendejo.
Some recent fights in the UK have generated plenty of money (Fury-Whyte, Joshua-Usyk, etc) - more than most fights in the USA. Nearly everybody in the UK knows who Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are, but only a small percentage of Americans have ever heard of Jermell Charlo or Devin Haney.
Why such vitriol, what's the point ? We're talking about a boxing match not somebody molesting your daughters for gods sake ...
Well I'm with you there, as my spat **** up smart mowt channy in the Lounge where he snidely tried to (imo) incite racial hatred with his thread , that has been removed . Hope you can smooth things out & get back to what we all love great boxing discussions & banter , Shadow , I love you man...
US biggest Pay Per views tend to beat biggest UK ones also because pricing points different. Big bouts in Las Vegas generate the most moolah.
