    I seen Nelson on a couple of undercards in the late 80's and he used to **** about a lot during bouts ....... stamping his feet in time to pitty-pat flurries, pulling faces etc.
    As he improved, he just cut out the clowning but The Entertainer label stayed with him a bit longer.

    Nelson's become so annoying recently as a presenter, just running his mouth off before fights, interrupting guests and reflecting on his own career endlessly.

    I agree 100% with that, i noticed it most at the Groves VS Degale fight when Barry McGuigan was trying to make a case for a Groves win but Johnny kept talking over him and saying there was only one winner in the fight and Groves had no chance. It gets annoying!!!

    Very good read:good Would be even better if he fought in the 19th century, apparently.
