Johnny's prob just missing the buzz that he seen last weekend... sounds like he will be back with or without Haye if thats how he is feeling ;)
Sounds like Johnny has a few regrets that he didn't push for the unification fights while he still had the legs. Nelson of 10 years ago would have given any cruiser a long night (including Haye). Ain't gonna happen, no win situation for Haye as he'd be expected to demolish him.
Hi U.K boxing fans!Im amazed on the outcome comment that Johny Nelson is proposing on making a comeback into the ring at cruiserweight to go and have a toe to toe fight with David Haye.Theres no way this fight will happen is there??.....I hope not,i cant see the point in it.Haye wont be a bit interested in it for one thing as well as the fans either.What do you U.K boxing fans think of the idea??:-\
so Haye would put his career on hold for 6months while Nelson gets in shape. Don't think so.

Can you really see him lasting long with either of our guys, or even with a Mormec or O neil bell. No chance!
If he were to return now he'll never see the top again, he could be a kind of gatekeeper to the top half a dozen or so in the world, a worthy test to the younger guys but I doubt he'd be happy with that kind of role.
Enjoy the retirement and keep up the good work on TV Johnny but theres no need to put the gloves back on.
Nelson was never the best cruiser in the world ,
wot makes him think that -
a. he deserves a shot at Haye.
b. anybody in world terms ever took him seriously.
c. that anybody outside of Sheffield ever forgave him for his fights with Carlos De Leon and James Warring.
d. the fact his nickname "THE ENTERTAINER" was the most unsuitable, of any nickname in the history of boxing , its like calling Marvin Hagler PRETTYBOY , or Ray Leonard THE REAL BEAST.
But i must take this opertunity to thank Frank Warren for another excellent WBO JOKE CHAMPION FOR THE UK.
too funny :DQuote:

He was a hugger at best!
Haye would bash him silly!
I think he just misses the buzz end of!
I don't see no way in hell that Haye is going to want to make a fight against Johnny Nelson when he's got the big prospect of US Stardom in the heavyweights and the big bucks that entails drawing him that way.
Maybe Nelson could be a comeback fight for Enzo...make the bout they were due to make two or three years ago.
Nelson v Hide anyone?
Nelson didn't want hard fights when he was active, so why he's gotten competitive now can only be because the fight will never happen.
