    Prime for prime who wins?

    My money is on Nelson to beat the 'average southpaw and Bellew is better than him'.

    He will do what he did to Carl Thompson on Usyk.

    Nelson was a good cruiserweight in his day but come on! Not even close!

    Johnny had incredibly fast hands - the fastest hands Usyk will ever have come up against. And he could really deliver the left hook to the body - and we all know Usyk hates it to the body. Johnny by TKO - unless Tony 'I just want to go home to my wife and kids' Bellew doesn't cause a Nelson DQ by going into the ring when trying to find his way home.

    Usyk is waaayyyy above Nelson in terms of natural talent. It’s not even close. Usyk is the ATG CW. Nelson was good but beat a lot of scrubs.
