Johnny Nelson back in training, confident he will KO Huck

Johnny Nelson always comes across so normal and reasonable on television. It's kind of strange hearing him talk like that, but maybe that's how he is off the TV. I have no idea. I'm not sure a comeback is a good idea and certainly not against a top level fighter. Why not a warm up just to see if he has anything first? A warm up says you are dedicated, whilst wanting the big fight straight away suggests it's more about a payday.

Your first sentence summed it up for me. I'm Surprised that Nelson's employers let him talk like a twat , even if it is only to IFL TV (nothing against Kugan Cassius cos I think he's great). He's got a serious Pundits job to do , for instance , you wouldn't hear Ruud Gullit being interviewed by someone and going all "Street" and "Black this and that, Blud" and "f"ing all over the shop! I'm probably coming over as a miserable old sap, but Nelson needs to decide if he's a respectable SKY pundit, or if he's Sheffield's version of 50 Cent!!
He's sensing a fast buck, but he wants to be careful SKY don't pull the plug on him, no matter how much Adam Smith thinks the sun shines out of his ass!!

Nelson wouldn't have KO'd Huck in his pomp (although stylewise it's a good match for him) let alone now.

Over the past couple of years - on Ringside - we've seen the fool getting a hip replacement and blowing his knackered old knees when doing a bit of gym work. Gonna fight a vicious cunt, 20 years younger than him who is in his pomp. Good luck

Nobody wanted to watch Nelson when he was in his prime , so an old nelson using his place on ringside to get heard is laughable.
Nelson was a paper WBO belt holder , he was never world champion.
