Mitchell definitely deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. I still believe Nelson would beat Mitchell a great fighter, but Azumah could walk thru punches and land bombs when necessary. Nelson fought the likes of Sanchez, Whitaker, Gomez, Ruelas, Fenech, Juan LaPorte. Losing to Sanchez and Whitaker, both arguably could be in the top 20 all time greatest boxers. That is my explanation for Nelson winning the fight and I'm in no way trying to devalue what Mitchell accomplished in the ring, once again a man who has been overlooked for the Hall of Fame.

I believe this would be a very close bout with the speedier Mitchell winning a split decision.

Brian Mitchell would win. Azumah Nelson lost against Jesse James Leija for heaven's sake.

Brad Morris is 100% correct. Azumah Nelson was a great fighter, but Brian Mitchell would have overwhelmed him with his punchrate.

Mitchell. He is the ONLY boxer I have ever seen whose workrate increased as the fight wore on. He would've overwhelmed Nelson.
People also seem to forget that because of politics Mitchell was forced to make every one of his defenses in the other guy's back yard. He made twelve defenses, a division record, and retired with an outstanding record of 45-1-3 (21).
6 to 5 Mitchell so far.

Azumah fought better fighters without a doubt. Mitchell fought in the USA only once. Azumah was the 65th greatest fighter of all-tme. Azumah by a late round KO.

I like both of them. Nelson was stronger, Mitchell the better technician, but Azumah was fairly good, technically, himself. I'd say Azumah. A hall of famer.
