Can't remember the exact words but Johnny Nelson compared Kal Yafai when he was a prospect to Roy Jones Jr. 'Kal Yafai is the new Roy Jones Jr' or ' 'the British Roy Jones Jr'' something like that
Also last year he claimed Callum Johnson knew he couldn't beat Joshua Buatsi and didn't fancy it. Johnson was completely baffled by Nelsons comments.
Didn’t Nelson liken Takam to George Foreman? Can remember him saying he couldn’t pick a winner between McGregor/Mayweather and that Brook would KO Golovkin.
Jesus Christ. He's a company man now. And Bellew was nowhere near up. He was exhausted from the 4th onwards.
I used to have a lot of respect for johnny, from the days way back where he would visit prisons etc with Brendan. So sad to see him go the other way....
When Nelson was in the studio he was spot on. Outside of it, he's lost the plot. On Ringside he'd always fluff his lines, and now his insights are the works of a troll.
Totally ridiculous. It’s was obvious to me that Usyk was carrying Bellew a bit. As soon as Usyk went through the gears it was an easy nights work. It’s scary how adept Usyk is at going through the gears - easy to say in hindsight but it’s clear Joshua was never beating him last week.
An average fighter calling a phenomenal fighter average - laughable Nelson and his opinion arent worth a *** paper
