    Before the Ortiz fight sounds convinced now that Wilder can fight doesn't he?

    And Johnny sounded eloquent giving Wilder his props. "We found out that he's got balls, punch resistance, and can give a punch. He has balls".

    His mind has completely changed about Wilder and he realizes that Wilder is the goods and that it's a dangerous fight for both fighters.

    Now you see why I see Joshua as a *****. Joshua knows the danger of an American hvw lol...

    But, don't forget, Nelson is a liar for saying Wlad smoked him 3 times in sparring :lol: Which is it?

    It's what I see, lmmfao! I can see his interview, but I don't see video of what he's said about Wlad and Wilder sparring.

    Nelson is a good guy. You should watch his fight with de Leon. What a classic! ;)

    Johnny Nelson is inoffensive, but he also isn't remotely worth listening to when it comes to the quality of any active fighters. It's been a long time since I mentally recorded one of his statements. I would recommend that you, too, save yourself the bother of scrutinising his words and discount anything he says off the bat.

    Sky don't pay these guys to serve up quality analysis, they pay them for jocular familiarity, which is why their half-assed, absent-minded gabbing and garbling and distinct lack of homework or attention to detail never costs them their gig (the average punter knows no better, let's face it). They aren't held to any real standard as pundits/analysts.

    Sorry to go off topic but the story of "Ranny" is hysterical. His name isn't actually Ranny, its Ronnie, but either his dad or mums Jamaican accent made him think his name was Ranny. it wasn't until he asked his dad why he named him "ranny", he found out it was "Ronnie" after "Ronnie Corbitt"...or so he claims

    Hmm. I love the way he covers his ass, "This changes everyone's opinion!", as if everyone was as lacking in discernment as him when it came to the matter of Wilder. Hey, I'm a St. Thomas guy, I have nothing at all against Johnny, but he talks just to talk and is a far from shrewd analyst.

    Got that fight saved in my browser just in case I'm having trouble nodding off. Works a treat, never make it past round three....

    :lol: Yeah ... I thought I could sucker Blizz into watching it :p But I guess he knows already ... When guys tell me it's a pile of garbage, I tell them that it starts warming up in the mid rounds :uptosomething: Basically, it's my argument why aggression should be rewarded ;)

    Which is why I was surprised they dropped Glenn McCrory... the godfather of jocular ignorance punditry...

    Nav, it happens doe. I wasn’t convinced of Floyd, Sweetpea, and many other guys who are now HOF fighters in the beginning. But it just clicks in you as a fan after you see them under pressure in a good fight.

    The only time I saw Nelson lose was when he worked the ropes too long. After he stopped hitting the ropes he was so damn hard to beat
