There were posters here …in the classic section…saying that he was better than Roberto Duran
Indeed it was…great fight
I really believed that Shane Mosley was going to have a better career than Floyd Mayweather
A lot of people thought it was farce …George had lost to Tommy Morrison the fight before
While other guys would shadow box before a fight …Azumah would just start winding his arms up…smiling
Emile Griffith and Gene Fullmer didn’t want to be in the trenches with him
Juan Laporte must have been a bad dude …to make Azumah Nelson fight off the back foot
Azumah Nelson
Kid Gavilan…he would just whoop a guy’s ass
Antonio Tarver
Hector Camacho
Ricardo Mayorga
He was so bad that every black heavyweight champion that came after him …looked at him as an example of what they didn’t want to be ….even Sonny...
There were black men who were lynched whenever he had a title defense…so I would say yes
I remember thinking to myself when they were reading the compubox numbers…this was one of the best fights I’ve ever seen
