Nelson - you are dellusional son. In his prime Nelson may have lasted to the half way point but now he will be wiped off the face of the earth very early.

Although the fight may be entertaining and a worthy contest, I think that boxing would prosper more (and it is in dyer need) if a young explosive heavyweight (Like Haye) were to mix things up. If Nelson won the fight it leaves the heavyweights and cruiserweights in purgatory for a long time until another young fighter comes along.

Is this Nelson bloke for real? What on earth does he think acts as the incentive for DH to waste 20% of his purported 2 and a half years left in boxing by staying in the cruiser ranks?? Half a round against an absolute hasbeen?!! Demolishing Nelson won't add any straps or kudos to DH's career whilst the farcical heavyweight division is there for the taking. The difficulty of unifying the heavyweights at present brings to mind stealing candy from a baby! DH only needs 4 fights up there to have the division sewn up and a further 2 to create a legacy, although quite what legacy dominating those witless gutless lumbering buffoons will engender is open to conjecture (and ridicule!). Go to Vegas, the Garden and a large stadium and show the yanks their run of the best big boys is well and truly over. The Brits can have the undisputed champ at heavy/cruiser/light-heavy by next chistmas!

No No No, why would Nelson put this fight on the table he WAS a great fighter but Haye would destroy him now. However, Haye will never take the fight he has too much credebility to take part in a fight that can only be described as an exhibition.

I think Johnny Nelson is getting a little carried away here. Its probably a case of the excitement of the big stage in his former division which was previously un-glamourised, that has got him feeling like he could come out of retirement. The thing is he would probably get battered by Enzo right now, so David Haye is not a realistic target.
