    Nelson offen gets bashed for his style and sometimes righthly so, but he was also a wily technician in the ring, a thinking man's fighters.

    I've only seen his fights with Girard and Jones.

    So, if I was to get just one Johnny Nelson fight of his Cruiserweight defenses, which is the best one?

    Rudiger May fight was a good fight I remember watching a few clips and Nelson boxed beatufilly that fight. The sellers fight was pretty exciting with Nelson getting decked in the 5th I think and stopping Sellers with a punch to the eye if I remember.

    Nice guy in person trained at Wincobank for a bit and Nelson was always friendly

    The Ezra Sellers fight was exciting, the Guillermo Jones fight was a robbery. The Carl Thompson fight is worth watching also.

    I liked watching nelson win, more than actually watching him if you know what i mean. I was never thrilled during one of his fights, but could see talent and was always glad to see him get the W.

    Yeah that was a SD but I thought Johnny won that easily. He did get knocked down in one of the rounds (flash KD) and the, I assume Italian, timekeeper made the round last four minutes. Crazy.

    In Nelson's book he says that when he returned to his corner after round one he said something like "here's another one on roids" to Brendan Ingle.

    Actually I wouldn't be too surprised coz Jones was a machine that night, gave Johnny Nelson hell.
