 Nelson looked poor in his last fight |
Promoter Frank Warren would love to match Sheffield's Johnny Nelson with newly-crowned WBA heavyweight champion Roy Jones. Warren believes that the WBO cruiserweight champion Nelson, who has looked poor in his last two fights, would represent a perfect test for Jones Jr.
"Roy Jones has won world titles at middle, super-middle, light-heavy and heavy so he could complete the set and become a five-weight world champion like Sugar Ray Leonard by facing Johnny," said Warren.
"It would be a massive fight for Britain and a great chance for Johnny to face pound for pound the best fighter in the world.
"Even if Jones doesn't want to come down to cruiserweight, Johnny would move up to heavyweight."
