Hernandez beat Nelson clearly, despite some deliberate illegal tactics from Nelson. I think that Hernandez would beat Mitchell as well.
Nelson was a cut above the other two. Hernandez vs Mitchell would have been a close fight. Hard to pick a definitive winner in that one. The only guarantee is that it goes the distance, as neither had the firepower to stop the other.
Nelson is like Holyfield you never really get credit for beating him people forget Martinez beat him fine and was on the way to doing it with one hand the 2nd time then Fenech got him with little issue… however… Sal Sanchez struggled majorly with a green Nelson (how’d he get the call?) yet he’s the GOAT at featherweight?
Brian would beat Nelson and many people on here have not even seen much of Mitchell who had a very good defense and a very good varied offense. Nelson would have his moments but he was very inconsistent at jr.lightweight. Hernandez would be a problem because of his boxing skills and he was extremely tall at that weight I could see Hernandez beating Brian.
Brian Mitchell would not beat a prime Nelson. Mitchell is getting a little overrated here. His overall resume is underwhelming for a HOFmer.
