What now for Nelson.

I was reading Fightnews and there seemed to be a banner advertising a future match up between Guiremelio Jones and Robert Daniels.

Nelson, said nobody wants to challenge him - I think the winner of this bout would be a worthy challenger for the Sheffield man .

Any thoughts?

I want to see Nelson in a big fight against a world class fighter, some top 5 fighter,

i hope Nelson doesnt take too long in fighting again,

I definately think Nelson needs to target someone like Mormeck, Jirov, Bell or Braithwaite. He showed against Jones that he is not going to be around forever and despite a good performance against a clearly limited foe in Petkovic he needs a big fight before he retires. It's a shame Braithwaite exposed Cantatore a while back, that could have been a good fight for Nelson, going to Italy and beating him.

I can see Johnny Nelson heading for a collision course sometime next year with Enzo Maccaranelli providing no one detonates a jab on the Welshman's chin. In the meantme I think Nelson will make an unremarkable defence of his WBO title.

I'd quite like to see Maccranelli and Nelson get it on. Enzo certainly bangs hard, but if Nelson can maintain the improvements he showed against Petkovic (compared with the Jones and Sellers fights) I think he'll school Enzo or even stop him late.

I agree Lightsoot, Enzo-Nelson i only see one winner. Despite Enzo's ability to hit hard i see his chin being a problem although Nelson is more likely to frustrate and school him than bomb him out.
