To be fair it was in reference to his tattoo and without the guidance of a knowledgable chap like Smith, many people would have taken it the wrong way.

Guessing you're too young to have seen Johnny Nelson's first couple of world title fights..

Reminds me of the hugely enlightening george foreman quote

"the referee is the most important person in the ring right now, aside from the fighters' :lol:

Oh no. Johnny did have a couple of decent fights, but of course Carlos DeLeon sticks in everyones mind.

I regret that post now. It's Cleverly, not Cleverley.

Like Witter and Barry, Johnny at times looked a million dollars, but they all went into their defensive shell against fighters good enough to beat them.

So to that extent they didn't give themselves a chance and were happy to stink the place out on the big stage.

Nevertheless they finished their careers with their health in tact!
