    Does this guy have one of the most unique career or what? How does a man lose his first three fights, has a record of 25-12 before finishing his career 20-0-1? What a great job done by Ingle, but how does he fare against Haye at CW? Nelson at his best vs Haye at his best?

    LOL, so I'm assuming you're rolling with Nelson?

    Nelson looked awesome against Thompson.

    Not really. Havent thought about that match up.

    Just find it tiresome that Haye gets rated higher than he deserves being put in mythical matchups with Holyfield and some dopes rating him higher!

    Bring them down to earth with Carl Thompson;)

    Off topic, but was it ever confirmed that Prince Naseem was involved with the attempted kidnapping of Nelson?

    Sure hope it is at his age. He quit at the right time as he was slipping, and we're almost a decade later now.

    Pretty sure he can still beat a couple of journeymen, but his idea to go after Huck because he's beating his record is kinda ridiculous.

    You guys don't know? Nelson said in an interview a few years ago that Prince is aware that he (Johnny) knows he was involved and he will never be able to forgive him.

    I can't post links so search on google Johnny Nelson on Naseem. Then click on the article titled small talk the guardian.

    You and Prince Naseem Hamed were once inseparable but then you fell out big time. Do you know if he's read your book?
    Naz? Oh I know he's read the book all right. [Laughs]
    How do you know that?
    Because the lawyers for my publishers share an office with his lawyers! [Dissolves into yet more laughter] Some stories had to be cut out to avoid getting sued ...
    Any chance of you and him rekindling your old friendship?
    Nah, too much water under the bridge. You know, friends fall out and they say things and those wounds can be repaired but with me and Naz, he did something that was totally unforgivable. I know he was involved in it and he knows I know, so we will never, ever, ever be in that situation again.
    Oh well ...
    I actually felt quite sorry for him when he got locked up. But then I thought to myself "you know what, he's always driven like an idiot - it was just a matter of time before it happened". And given the chance again, I bet he'd be exactly the same person. I gather he's lonely now and miserable and his original friends no longer knock about with him but what did he expect? He's brought it all on himself. Everyone chooses a path in life and that's the one he chose: he might be the richest man in Sheffield but he's probably also the loneliest. When it comes to picking wealth over happiness, I'll take my lifestyle any day. I'm happy.


    I'd heard about the kidnapping plot, but never anything about Naz being involved.
