    If the money is right, Nelson could get the job done inside 30 seconds.

    And if he choose to give it a go, Attell would not believe the 'vitamins' available to him in this era.

    Last yr I bought and read bios on each of these men. Very good reads and fine addditions to my library.
    Attell saw it all stylewise and I pick him to pick Azumah apart.

    I think Attell was pretty shot there, I think he certainly looks it.

    Azumah for me. I'd like to see more on Atell though.

    Azumah Nelson is a great fighter to go against. I would take Nelson for the win.

    Attell comes from the era when most fighters fought in a "wait and see" style. Nelson would not allow Attell to wait or see. Azumah would keep on top of Abe and overpower him. I see it as just that simple. Not even close. Might last a few rounds, while Nelson tries to see what Abe has. Azumah is just too strong and tough.

    Yeah, I call that the "plan and pounce" approach to fighting. I don't think it would work so well against someone like Nelson either.

    Yes, your appellation is more descriptive!
