One thing that Nelson was not great at was cutting off the ring, if Pacquiao can utilize his movement and fire his quick bursts and then turn Nelson, he'd have a good chance of winning, Nelson followed his opponents around the ring too much.
Pacquiao vs Prime Azumah Nelson at 130...

and people get mad when I say that. I thought I was the only one who noticedLOL beating up on shot all time greats isn't the same as beating a all time great in his prime. Nelson was a better version of JMM. More power and speed with just as much skill and a better chin. Do you honestly think that fares well against Pacman?
EM beat up Pacman even shot. Think what a prime Nelson would do to him.
Pacman fans need to stop over rating Pacman. He is extremely one dimensional. No defense. Bounces up and down and rhythmically jab, jab, and left. His tendencies would lose him fights against most true technicians. JMM has some questionable losses against Pacman. What would Pacman do against someone better then JMM? Most likely KO or decision loss.
Nelson was an all time great for a reason, fought some of the best ever and fared very well. Pacman fought some all time greats past their prime. EM and MAB were past their "hay day". JMM is a great and has some controversial losses. But imagine if Pacman would have fought some true 130 pounders, or these guys at their prime weight in their prime age(31 year old JMM was still past his best a little ways).
Nelson by decision or late KO.Comment
