Nelson never appeared to duck anyone but he did miss out on a few potential clashes against quality co-champions at featherweight and super featherweight. How do you think these would have gone? Eusebio Pedroza (1985) - featherweight Barry McGuigan (1986) - featherweight Rocky Lockridge (1988) - super featherweight Brian Mitchell (1988-1990) - super featherweight
Eusebio Pedroza (1985) - featherweight Eusebio was a hell of a fighter but long in the tooth in 1985, Nelson on points or late stoppage. Barry McGuigan (1986) - featherweight McGuigan was a good fighter but hittable and I think Azumah is too strong for him, ko 10 Rocky Lockridge (1988) - super featherweight Lockridge was tough nut, Nelson on points Brian Mitchell (1988-1990)-super featherweight Mitchell was a brilliant away fighter but never beat top notch fighers but had good skills. I think he might give Azumah trouble early on but Nelson would take over and take it on points by a couple of rounds.
