Who would win if prime Barry McGuigan fought all of N.Hamed`s opponents?

So what McGuigan would have been favoured to beat Nelson in the UK and Northern Ireland but Nelson would have inflicted a brutal knockout.

 

I would take Azumah over MAB, Hamed and McGuigan any day of the week. I am not a gambling man (except for lottery tickets, lol), but would bet on Azumah against those 3 with massive confidence.

 

Naz>Mcguigan

 

Garbage. Pure garbage by a nuthugger.

 

Why did he chicken out of the fight. He knows he did so did his management and the whole world knows he did. Nut hugging does not hide the truth.

 

ok, i'll bite. Lets say for the sake of argument McGuigan was Commonwealth champion. Nelson then fights a guy in an eliminator for the right to face him. Nelson wins that fight and then McGuigan relinguishes said title. Would that be classed as a duck?

 

He’d be ready for the taking by about his 5th or 6th defense. He would also be destroyed by Hamed himself.

 

I don’t know that anybody could. Wayne McCullough is known for one thing in particular: having one of the greatest chins any of us have ever seen.

 

dunno where you cut and pasted that from but it doesnt answer my question mate. And even at that, why 'should' he have defended against Nelson? Taylor was his mandatory, the no1 challenger. Cabreras next fight after mc guigan was another title shot against Nelson, so whatever mcguigans being accused of, if anything, then Nelson should face the same accusations, again if any. Also that fight against nelson was the day before McGuigan lost to Cruz, a late substitute when Sosa pulled out. then went on his sabbatical for near 2yrs. The talk at the time was that retirement was a serious option being considered. Yes, it woulda be great for them to have met but i cant see how mcguigan gets flak for a period that really was talked about for less than a year. Now i am NOT suggesting anyone ducked anyone else and yes, Nelson would go on to prove a fantastic fighter far above mc guigan, but if mcguigan done what nelson done regarding the giving up of the commonwealth title when he won the eliminator to face him, he woulda got crucified for it in these kinda threads. My point is, if Nelson wanted him THAT bad, he had the chance but didnt. We all know the goading was to seal a huge payday and who could blame Nelson, i certainly wouldnt, McGuigan was the big payday

 

nice try but i think you'll find thats the Rings ratings. Taylor may be 8th there but he was no1 ranked in the WBA, hence him being mcguigans mandatory

EDIT. Also that was compiled in the spring of 86, roundabout the cabrera defence and 3 months before mc guigan lost his title and id hazard a guess roundabout when negotiations for the sosa fight were taking place, but thats just a guess albiet a reasonable one but not fact
