    Johnny's on the money here.

    After all, how can a fighter who is technically worse than Bellew be anything but average?

    F*ck Sky! Load of absolute drivel! Why can't English broadcasters just be a bit objective at least once when one of their fighters takes a beating. The better man won, deal with it

    Usyk is going to knock AJ out in the 2nd fight, let's see what Sky have to say about it then...

    The idiot actually doubled down recently when asked about his “Bellew is technically better than Usyk” comment, he said Bellew was winning the fight so his comment was justified :duh:duh

    The crazy thing is, Bellew said multiple times recently Uysk is the best fighter he has ever faced and he is not at his level. So if Bellew himself says it, I don't know what Nelson is on about.

    Once Usyk put the foot on the gas in that Bellew fight it was over and done with pretty quickly.

    Johnny Nelson is obviously too stupid for his current job.

    He's a very unlikable man.

    The word ''average'' should never be used in the same book as Usyk's name, let alone same chapter, page, paragraph or sentence.

    Olympic gold medalist
    World Amateur Championships gold & bronze
    European gold & bronze medalist

    Won all those gold medals on the road

    He was robbed in the 2008 Olympics against the eventual semi-finalist that year

    WBC cruiserweight champion
    WBA cruiserweight champion
    IBF cruiserweight champion
    WBO cruiserweight champion
    WBA heavyweight champion
    IBF heavyweight champion
    WBO heavyweight champion

    Hasn't lost a fight in a decade and even the guy who supposedly inflicted that last loss on him said he never beat Usyk and that he didn't fight him in that tournament so that would make Usyk not having lost in 13 years (all of which sans his first 9 fights as a pro) at the highest level

    Unified the CW division in just 15 fights

    Is a belt away from unifying two divisions in 19 fights winning all his world titles and unifying them all in his opponent's backyards



    Ring Magazine champion at CW
    Ranked #2 P4P by The Ring Magazine
    Winner of the Muhammad Ali trophy

    Beat

    WBA, IBF and WBO champ AJ (24-1) in England
    WBA and IBF champ Gassiev (26-0) in Russia
    Beat WBC champ Briedis (23-0) in Latvia
    Beat WBO champ Glowacki (26-0) in Poland
    Beat former long reigning WBO champ Huck (40-4-1) in Germany
    Beat former WBC champ Bellew (30-2-1) in England
    Beat Michael Hunter (12-0) in the US
    Beat Mchunu (17-2) on neutral soil
    Beat Chisora (32-9) in England

    Ring Magazine Fighter of the Year (2018)
    ESPN Fighter of the Year (2018)
    Sports Illustrated Fighter of the Year (2018)
    CBS Fighter of the Year (2018)
    Boxing Writers Association of America Fighter of the Year (2018)
    Boxing News Fighter of the Year (2018)


    That's obviously impressive enough as it is but I could expand on it further

    And now we have to listen to this crap about him being an ''average southpaw'' and be subjected to a nauseating inquest from the Matchroom PR machine, shills and fighters and pundits on IFL and co about what AJ did wrong and not what Usyk did right after Usyk just put on a sublime masterclass and outclassed AJ in his back garden where everything was against Usyk, both in terms of huge physical disadvantages and a stacked deck.

    Clown shoes Robert Garcia saying he ranks Crawford and Spence above Usyk P4P in terms of skills. If skills alone are you criteria then Loma is #1. Crawford is very skillful albeit I would say he's anymore so than Usyk. But in what universe is meat and potatoes Spence even remotely as skillful as Usyk? Usyk has great skills and his performance against AJ the other day is one of the best and most beautiful boxing displays I've seen in a long time. It was masterful.

    The other day, before Usyk vs AJ, Ak (Barak's boyfriend) said he wasn't sure if Usyk deserves to be on the P4P list :facepalm:

    Johnny Nelson was a mediocre boxer, he is also the worst boxing pundit going, I'd rather listen to Froch's wife screaming than listen to Nelson's garbage.

    Agreed.

    Had Usyk been black, Nelson would have waxed lyrical about him.

    I mean his top 5 was all black at one point.
