Johnny Nelson

he said he was god awful to watch as a fighter, not a god awful champion.

ur eyes are gone as well as your marbles shakey

 

You are a god awful reader.

 

Johnny Nelson does okay, but there are times when there is almost a silence and that comes across as very amateurish. And as someone mentioned it can be painful to watch and ruins the flow of the conversation.

 

I've said it before - Nelson does best in the studio AFTER a fight. That's when he is at his best.

When he is reading from an auto-cue or presenting he seems to act American and fluff his lines up.

Unscripted Johnny is the best by far.

 

That whole 'salivating' thing on ringside made me squirm.

 

I dont think he does to bad to be honest, Id rather listen to Nelson over Jim Watt any day

 

you see, all sky sports presenters have to fit what they see as professional sounding.
the people there who pick nelson for his role arent clued up on boxing like some posters on a forum here are.....they are playing to the masses...the casual sports fan......they will look at nelson and think he sounds good and looks well....they wont go into it any more than that.
all sky sports presenters will have the same sound to their voices...the same presentation style...all part of the overall package, which nelson fits perfectly....an ex boxing champion too which fills all the boxes for sky.....but again, they are catering for the masses...the casual fans moreso that the minority, the hard core boxing fans.
if you stuck al bernstien on sky sports as a presenter or pundit or commentator, he would stick out like a sore thumb...he wouldnt fit the overall package presentation of the channels...sky have their own presenters, trained by themselves, styled in the sky way.

 

How you ever wondered, how many former world champions would make good TV presenters? I don't think there are that many who are well spoken, disciplined, reliable, clean-tongued, charismatic, can recall many of the biggest fights going back 20-30 years, are respected by other boxers etc etc.

For me, Johnny Nelson is great as a presenter. I really cannot understand anyone wanting to single him for criticism.

 

I also wouldn't call hime clean tongued as in the past his tongue has been so far up James Degale's arse I swear it was johnnys tongue you could see in Degales mouth!!!

 

compare him to other sports presenters on sky sports.....like some of them fellas doing the rugby...you can see its a sky method / way of doing things.

 

i agree with the sentiment....although, personally, i think nelson sounds ok
