What breeds is my dog crossed with?

Question

My boyfriend rescued his dog, Nelson, from the pound when he was a six month old pup about 18 months ago. 
He was in there with his brother, but the owners reclaimed the brother, and left Nelson behind.
We are pretty certain that Nelson's father is a purebred merle Great Dane, but his mother was a 'wild dog' apparently. 
He is registered as a boxer X, but I dont think its boxer in him.
To me he looks like an American Bulldog X- he has similar features, and perfect bulldog markings.
Nelson is a loveable goofball- but because of his shady past he still needs a bit of training so that he isnt so nervous around new people and dogs.
He is a large dog- but hes not huge- smaller than our german shepherd. Any Ideas?

I think you hit the nail right on the head, Belinda.

Great Dane/American Bulldog.

And I don't know how anybody could leave that super guy in the pound...good for your boyfriend for giving Nelson a second chance!

Woah, what a gorgeous dog! He does look like a boxer with part of his bulid, but something about his eyes and muzzle say Bulldog.

He's a mutt, and a beautiful one at that.
