    Is Eddie trying to set up a Bellew vs Wilder fight? Both shooting their mouths off earlier. Parker's calling him out too and he's slagging David Haye off at every opportunity too. Fair play to the lad he's got plenty of stokes in the fire. I don't think he can be written off either, he genuinely could be a world heavyweight champion before he retires...

    A cash out with a HW name apart from Joshua. Then retire.

    I suppose you can't totally write him off, but I still think no matter who he fought for a belt it would be a bigger upset than beating Haye.

    His win over Haye was farcical but even then there were a lot of questions in regards to Haye.

    I have less doubts about Parker and Wilder

    BTW it's clear to me Bellew wants no part of Wilder, they think Parker is the weakest titlist and thats who I think they will target if they fight for a heavyweight strap. Bellew has the money anyway and Parker is just as big as a Wilder fight anyway? Bellew wants a chance I think.

    It's amazing really how in such a short space of time Bellew has become one of the biggest names in world boxing. Whatever you think of Hearn he has managed to turn fighters like Bellew and Crolla into big names.

    Windmiller's brother.

    Think it's time for Bellew to fight the WBC champ in his division, who before was his mandatory.

    Parker. Although I have heard rumours Haye 2 at the millennium in Cardiff October.

    He has lots of options.
    Haye 2 should be his first option, but I doubt if Haye will return.
    He has already been trashtalking with Wilder, who I think will be to powerful for him. Bellew is just too hittable.
    He might have a chance against Parker, but the Big Kiwi will probably outbox him.

    Bellew should cash out with a big HW fight. Parker makes sense to me most.

    Then he can do Haye 2- he will probably only be fit to fight again early next year.

    Parker fight. Wins it and sets up Haye 2 in a HUGE world title fight or loses and sets up Haye 2 in a huge 'grudge' fight

    Two huge paydays that will mean his great great great grandkids are rich kids

    Haye 2 is the only huge money option out there for him.

    He would get in 5 - 6 x more than what Hughie Fury would have got v Parker. ( If Hughie wasn't a suspended drug cheat and could have made the fight.)

    Although if Haye is fit he will get slaughtered......

    Which means a decider to the trilogy and another 6 or 7 million £.

    (If he fancies it after facing a fit Haye, that is).

    If he wants a legacy fight its Parker/Wilder/Briggs for a belt. I actually see Briggs as quite a marketable circus act and an easy win for Bellew, he just needs to keep out of the way for a few rounds and let Briggs gas (assuming he gets past Oquendo). If he is going after a pension pot it's got to be Haye 2 but he wont get any credit for winning Haye will just be seen as finished.
