I believe he is the master of the rematch, having won all the rematches he participated in.
Anyway, i loved his tko of Jeff Fenech after getting a gift decision in their first match.
Also his fight wit Salvador Sanchezs stands out, fighting a all time great with just 15 fights and doing really well
Have you ever seen his fight against Wilfredo Gomez?
Wot a fight that was amazing really.......

He would have destroyed Naseem Hamed.

Nelson was a fantastic fighter !!!!
Great points X and I think it's safe to say that he wasn't know as
'The Professor' just because.
