Legitimate injury complaints , Nelson would have been far too good for Enzo and probably would of knocked him out . I have to say I actually enjoyed the last fight of Johnny Nelson's career against Cantatore , he actually lived up to the name of 'The Entertainer' in that fight . Him taking the **** with the Italian fans afterwards was priceless .
oh no question about his ability he was as you said lasked self belief when people tlak about a belt changing a fighter johnny is a living testiment to this. he gained inner confidence and a bit more respect for his abillity he did have a bit of an ego but really it was usually forced out of him he showboated but it was his way of getting him that confidence good post:good he could also punch much harder than people assume wiht both hands i might add. i would also like to point out about belts creating the fighters look at ian napa he is a good lil fighter but shy and unassuming he was a highly rated journyman goign form fly to bantam which he is now reached...he won the british bantamwieght title and he has the 2 best performances of his life to date this year.
