    Carrying some excess weight around the mid section. Brudov is hand picked though so he should get away with it for this fight.

    Bellew looks terrible at any weight,he is a doorman masquerading as a pro boxer.

    His physique on the scales made him look like a journeyman. Absolutely no definition to him. Surprising as the guys he works with are top draw.

    Always thought that Bellew had the build of a 10 year
    old boy at 175, doesn't or didn't look physically strong at all.

    Looks worse at cruiserweight imo.

    He's got that Enzo Mac at cruiser look. Fleshy and lacking in the shoulder department. Going to be tough for him at cruiser.

    Hes too big for LHW but too small for CW I always thought.

    He may grow into the weight to be fair. But people saying how he looks, fck it, the man aint killing himself to make weight and it has to be to his advantage, he looked sick and draw at LHW

    You need your head testing if you think Bellew can win a World title at Cruiserweight, what exactly are you basing that on?

    Of the current Cruiser champs, Huck, Lebedev and Hernandez would all beat the **** out of him with ease...iit'd be worse then Bellew-Stevenson with Tony running around the ring like a headless chicken. The only possibility he'd have is against the WBC champion Krzysztof Wlodarczyk but even then i'd say it was a 10% chance as Krzysztof is in the form of his life at the moment having beaten Rakhim Chakhkiev last year.

    Brudov is well past his best and was never that good to begin with so Bellew will probably win tomorrow and look decent doing it but as soon as he steps in against any Top 10 Cruiserweight he's going to be in a world of trouble.

    He looks like he's filled into the weight nicely. Not sure what this thread is about or why it was made. Nobody can fairly say Bellew didn't look drawn and gaunt at LHW. And why? Because he was. I've no idea if he will do well at CW, but he looks a hell of a lot better at 14 st.
