Hugged him into boredom.
There cannot be a single rational observer of the sport that believes Nelson would beat Usyk.
He would have the same chance as me against Lennox Lewis.
Rewatch the Norbert Ekassi fight, then come back and apologise to Mr Nelson. He was a beast and could beat Holyfield, Usyk and another cruiserweight even on the same night. Johnny was a first ballot IBHOF induction, no, wait, let me check.... oh, he's not there.

Nelson was quite young and slender there at 13.8. I thought he was a bit more solid by the time of the Thompson win. 14.4 and more mature. Presumably he wouldn’t have been disgraced against Usyk.
