Azumah Nelson surely was a great fighter!! Just to think he challenged the Great Salvadore Sanchez on his 14th fight & went 15 hard give & take rounds with Sanchez before getting KO'd!! & if I'm not mistaken Nelson came in to replace Sanchez original opponent.. After that Nelson gave hell to his opponents!! He didn't loose again for 8 years(19 fights) until he went up in weight & faced the great Pernell Whitaker & in between that he won titles in 2 divisions!!
