regardless of whether you think he fights within the rules or not and whether or not you believe he allowed to get away with the tactics he does due to the money he generates


a fighter will never be an all time great if he fights are so very dull every time


there are a list of champions who had such a dull style who were champions for years but will never be remembered or considered an all time great


Johnny nelson was world champ for 10 or so years, no one ever remembers his reign because of the way he fought


if he had have been on the front foot knocking people out every fight with the same record then he more than definitely would be remembered a lot more foundly


btw, it is an insult to Johnny to put his fights in the same dullness category as wlads
Johnny Nelson was a fucking joke. The only name fighter he beat during his reign was Carl Thompson. And Thompson really was never even that good of a fighter. Without the judges gifts Nelson loses 3 of his last 4 fights.

I completely agree


ive seen johnny nelson lose but get the verdict more than once


they were still wins tho, and he was still champion for 10 years or whatever


very similar to wlad, he should have been disqualified in 8 of his last 9 fights, they still go down as wins tho
