    I don’t know why you are defending the indefensible. It’s not exactly a secret that McGuigan ducked Nelson all through his career. This is not hypothetical. Even Don King was scathing that he lost to the unheralded Steve Cruz when he could have had a massive pay day against Nelson despite a guaranteed loss. In any he ducked Nelson again to fight Jim McDonell who beat him so Nelson had to give Jimmy Mac a title fight and take good care of the caretaker.

    Even McGuigan has subsequently agreed that Nelson was the better fighter of the 2 of them.

    Don King , Tyson and Jeff Fenech are spot on about the boxing Professor Azumah Nelson.

    Nelson didn`t look good at all v Jimmy, his defense was sloppy.

    Good enough to stop McGuigan lose on points to the great Brian Mitchell and get knocked out by Azumah Nelson on one of his worse performances. Yeah I get you Nelson is an ATG.

    Barry could beat anyone Naz beat. Naz was very careful with selection of opposition. Barry would probably lose to Barrera but be more competitive than Naz was against Marco Antonio.

    McGuigan was done when he lost to McDonnell. That was a far cry from prime 126 lb. McGuigan.

    That makes it better does it? McDonell was kicking his ass and beating him up. Watch the fight. Why you feel the need to defend McGuigan is beyond me. You may not like Naseem Hamed’s personality but it’s clear he was better than and had a much better career than McGuigan. As for Azumah Nelson please don’t compare McGuigan to him as it’s insulting.

    i dont know 1 person alive who thinks mcguigan was the better fighter of the 2. That has never been the issue. Are you choosing not to reply to the hypothetical question i asked, regarding the ducking?
