Nelson vs McGuigan-why did it never happen?

[Pastrano]

Yes he was washed up, hence why he gets extra credit for his wins around that time, including the return with Fenech in which Nelson desposed of Fenech like a cheap whore.

In the rematch, it was Fenech who wasn't well. He was on the slide, dunno why. He got taken out by featherfister Calvin Grove in his next fight.

Agreed. It kills me when some people equate big wins with prime. An example is when a lot of idiots in NSB think Hopkins is still in his prime because he beat Pascal.

I think Nelson would stop him late in a tough grueling fight, even-though Barry I thought was more impressive vs Juan Laporte.

Not the same as the 85 version of Nelson.
