Alexis could appear to get outboxed and I would not deny that. However, this was deceptive. He was a stalker who was probing for weaknesses and patterns -and that often meant that he would give up early rounds in order to find the most efficient places to lay traps. And later, he almost inevitably would. Therefore, I don't necessarily disagree with Sweet Scientist's observation, however, I think we should see it more in context. Azumah is a vastly underrated Featherweight great. Let us never forget that he fought a finely tuned and seasoned Sanchez in only his 14 fight -and made a great stand. 13 of those 14 previous bouts were in Africa. Azumah's confidence was about as good as it gets. Believe it or not, Pavlik is a modern counterpart with the same kind of confidence. Azumah was highly skilled and you gotta love his comments after the Fenech rematch about his being the Professor who would beat his man and then sit him down and tell him what he did wrong. Azumah's style would capitalize on his man's mistakes and in this sense he was similar to Arguello. However, neither would find many mistakes in the other. I go with Arguello on points. He was taller than everyone Nelson ever met with the exception of Hernandez, who an aged Nelson lost to. Arguello could fight backwards, use angles, and had a wicked arsenal of textbook shots that were not fast but incredibly precise. Both men are comparable in terms of skill. Azumah has the edge in experience, but Alexis has a style that I see as overcoming that -combined with his height/reach and the precisely-placed thudding shots which would force Azumah off balance. Razor-thin decision.
