Johnny Nelson "Bellew is technically better than Usyk"

This is the most idiotic statement I've heard this week only surpassed by the usuals "climate change is a hoax" "global warming is a chinese hoax, everything's fine with climate" claims by Trump and his moronic supporters

He looks like he knows what he's taking about, that must be enough to impress his bosses. A casual to boxing could probably point out some of the dumb stuff Nelson says. He even claimed a couple of weeks ago on a Sky broadcast that Bellew should outbox Usyk :lol1: I mean, saying Bellew can win is ballsy, but to outright say he should win is a joke. When Toney was on ringside years ago, he said to Toney "when you fought Nunn, you dominated and made it look so easy" :thinking: Even Toney was like "Ermm no actually that was a very hard fight I was losing before the KO" Same when Broner was undefeated, he said the same thing about Broner's fight with Ponce De Leon, "he made it look so easy" Clearly he has not seen those fights. Like I said, I don't believe he watches Boxing.

Nelson is a hack. This Sky pundit team is the worst Ive ever seen. Only two I dont mind are Macklin and Clarke and they normally only ever get to do the lower undercard fights.

I noticed Nelson saying some stupid shyt in the last year or so but this just proves the guy has become worthless. Sad to see as he had a fairly good boxing mind at some point.

I never watch or read anything Nelson says. Why sky gave him such a good job is beyond me.

Is he now...

Once again proving proving he is the worst pundit in the game. Complete moron

Surely Johnny Nelson is not Bias Right? :lol1:

sky must be paying him well for him to have sold his soul like this

Then stevenson must be an all time great.

Typical UK fanboy Guys like Eddie and Johnny are why the British lost the war

Nelson has completely lost his mind

Johnny Nelson has been robbing a living for years. Terrible pundit. Just terrible. He said here: "He don't wanna fight Deontay Wilder, he knows Wilder is too long, tall, gangly. He don't wanna fight Anthony Joshua - he understands what he can do and what he can't do. He wants to fight Oleksandr Usyk because he sees something we don't." Yeah... maybe that Usyk is a ****ing cruiserweight comparable in size to Bellew and not a 6'7" heavyweight like those other two boxers you mentioned, genius. If he'd said that people tend to underestimate Bellew's technical ability I wouldn't necessarily have disagreed, but to say that Bellew is a better technical boxer than Usyk... that's something even Bellew himself would laugh at! How Sky have kept Nelson for so long is utterly beyond me.

Englishmen tend to overrated their boxers. I think Usyk is much better and will win easily and probably by KO.

James Toney Beats Belew on a 3 weeks notice

I mean, there's supporting your guy & then there's just being ridiculous. I don't know what Bellew is technically better than Usyk at, but it sure ain't boxing.

He is obvious giving a biased point of view because he is a fanboy of Tony Bellew's because they are both British. Yes, exactly like Fury is a fanboy of Joshua. Them brits all love each other!

I disagree, I think it's just a role he plays in order to incite on-air debate and viewer engagement. If you just had a few sensible and knowledgeable people discussing boxing civilly during promotional programming and in between bouts then a lot of casuals would tune out. It's low-brow but it probably works. So he's not an idiot, just a sell-out Aye well said, I didn't read this until I made my own reply :)

whatever Nelson is smoking, i want some. seriously though, i know the sky guys are cheerleaders for Matchroom fighters, but this statement is very psychedelic. i actually think Bellew is a bit underrated at times but still.. Often the 3-4 guys they have commentating have to take different positions when it comes to predicting fights, and someone then has to talk up the underdog so the fight looks much more competitive than it is on paper. The UFC do the same on FOX and it's annoying and really phony .. I hope they all stop doing that. Keep it real, and if it's terrible matchmaking over and over again, don't fucking sugar coat it, expose it. Nelson is a disgrace, and one of our most despised champions ever

He is obvious giving a biased point of view because he is a fanboy of Tony Bellew's because they are both British.
