    I always wondered why they never fought? I thought it would of been a no brainer at 130.

      He did. Damn I love Azumah. Could box, brawl, showboat, fight in so many different ways. Someone needs to bring back the crab defense .

        I don't know to be honest. I doubt either one feared the other. Promotional issues? Network? No pressure? Beats me.

          The first two that came to mind were James Toney and Chris Byrd.



          PED User already posted a video of the Toney-Barkley fight, good choice.
