    Sure do not see Floyd losing this one. Actually tend to think it is a lopsided bout and Nelson never gets anything going or any good sustained work done at all.

    Dislike him, but Floyd was the best 130 pounder there's ever been.

    The Prof is losing here.

    Another vote for a clear enough Floyd decision win.

    Nelson's only chance would be a fast paced 15 round fight where he stops Floyd in the 14th as he's way behind on the cards

    If anyone gets stopped in this matchup it would not be Floyd.

    This isn't welterweight Mayweather we're talking here, Floyd had pop at 130. If Nelson consistently attacks, he consistently walks into counters, and he gets stopped just like the Sanchez fight.

    I've said before and will maintain... Azumah Nelson is a little overrated.

    Floyd was both bigger, and quite frankly... a different class of fighter than Nelson.

    Didn't say he do it, just that it was his only chance. Floyd was pretty good at 130

    I understand, I guess I just had to hammer home the point that I find Nelson overrated.

    I don't think Nelson beats Camacho at 130, let alone Floyd.

    Hell Camacho at 130, beats everyone at that weight in my opinion.
    Including Mayweather Jr.

    Nelson wouldn't have a prayer. It'd be a boring fight though.
