darbo 4,779 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 I thought he was great to watch a talented fighter. pity the nelson fight never happened. a 50/50 fight for me as nelson in his prime was a very good fighter. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ah reckon McGuigan would have beaten Jim McDonnell in his prime...it had all kind of fallen apart by the time he fought JM...remember watching Nelson KO Pat Cowdell...brutal that...

Lol No your absolutely right mate.....i dont think Mcguigan stylistically would of dealt with him so the fact Nelson easily beat the man who beat the man kind of thing just reinforces it for me.............Mcguigan was a pressure fighter who didnt do well off the back foot,a guy of Nelsons physical strength would have had him on the back foot.....personally i think Mcguigan was overated as a fighter.

spindolero 1,126 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Gnasher, you know your boxing. How did you rate Salvador Sanchez, I know he beat Nelson, but was a hell of a fight? And Nelson was an unknown youngster Do you think Nelson would have avenged this defeat had Sanchez been around?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
