    Crazy to think Tony Bellew has a shot at winning one of the HW titles. I think it's a joke that Wilder and Parker's people wanna follow Haye's example and cherry pick Bellew but seeing as that blew up in Hayes face, is it even worth the risk?

    I'm glad this scam that Haye was running is over but I'm abit pissed that Bellew now believes he is a top 5 Heavyweight.

    I mean Haye was winning up until he his right leg so sure it's great that Bellew won but yeah...
    Wilder would most likley do what Haye said he would do and smash Bellews head in.

    He should probably go back down to CW as he looked a bit sluggish carrying that extra weight in the ring. But the big money fights are in the HW division for him. He's made mention of wanting to retire soon so maybe his next fight will be his big cashing out.

    I think he gets knocked out by both guys but he can definitely have his moments in either fight if he boxes in a smart manner. He employed an excellent defensive tactic with Haye early one before David's injury. I was surprised how close he kept it before the 6th round.

    Why would I lie?

    You can find the statement in the telegraph in an article called Bellew: broke my right hand beating David Haye

    Hearn's statement:

    Hearn said: "I think I got into bed about 3.30am, I had Deontay Wilder's camp phoning me up, I had Joseph Parker's camp phoning me up, both wanting to defend their world heavyweight titles against Tony Bellew. So he's got no end of options.

    "He's got big decisions to make stay at cruiserweight, defend that, unify the division. Maybe even a rematch with David Haye or, I think more likely, to challenge for the world heavyweight title.

    of course he would....all wilder has to do is pretend like his actual choice fell through and then say "well this was the last minute fight....this is all we could do...it was either bellew or no fight"

    "of course ggg would chase brook"

    LOL
