    I don't think he has a great chance against either man, but there are flaws he can exploit with Wilder that he doesn't have the physicality or tools to exploit with Parker. Wilder's predictability and low ring IQ coupled with his dreadful punching technique and recklessness all give Bellew different avenues into winning the fight. Szpilka was able to lay the blueprint for how a smaller fighter could potentially beat Wilder, and though they are stylistically different, I can see Bellew having a similar level of success if he boxes smart and keeps his cool.

    Against Parker those possibilities won't exist. Unless he wants to try his chances outboxing Parker he'd be forced to be the aggressor, and he'd be going in there with a man who is his superior in every physical aspect, with equal heart and youth on his side. Parker's no ring genius himself, but he's a lot more canny than Wilder and less easily drawn into traps, and his punching technique doesn't expose him or leave him off balance the way Wilder's wild swings do. I just don't see too many opportunities for him there.

    Heavyweight as a amateur is Cruiserweight as a professional.

    I think Bellew is simply not good enough to exploit the flaws of Deontay Wilder, he is not even one of the best
    cruiserweights and he has at least a decent punch in the cruiserweight division which he has not in the
    heavyweight division, i think he couldn't give Deontay Wilder or Joseph Parker any problems.

    DW would end them both, I guess he'd get paid more for DW and a one punch ko is so so so much better than the s sustained beating he receives from parker

    Would have got sparked against Wilder probably does by Parker too but in a closer fight , I actually give Bellew a chance depends how false Parkers power is. good fight for both anyway big money on the table Bellew still gets Haye again win lose or draw , Parker probably gets Joshua and Bellew is the soft option and best chance against a British fighter for him to keep hold of the belt.

    Interesting fight. I hate it for what it means for an undisputed champ though.

    I knew it was coming though makes too much sense for JP. Big payday, relatively safe fight, exposure to the UK market, sets up AJ fight and more $$.

    But if he fought Wilder next it would all but guarantee an undisputed heavyweight champ by next year. Now if JP wins he'll have to fight H.Fury next further putting unification off and who knows what happens with AJ and his belts/mandatories. I'd imagine AJ gets stripped of one because he will fight T Fury before a mandatory.

    Not too mention if Belew wins he has stated he wouldn't fight AJ. He will just use the belt to get more money off a Haye rematch.

    Lame. I just want to see Wilder Vs Joshua for all the marbles. Wilder is never going be able to get in with one of these guys at this rate ha.

    We know Stiverne has refused step aside money, so Wilder vs Parker can not be made unfortunately.

    Parker has to find another oppoent, and Parker's fan base will explode after beating Bellew, because believe it or not Bellew does have a lot of fans, nothing like Haye, but he still has a lot of fans.

    Stiverne could be put to the side for a unification fight. This is why Wilder has been chasing Parker non stop. He wants no part of a Stiverne rematch and fans don't either

    Parker has disgracefully ducked Wilder to take an utter joke of a fight instead. These clowns who pretend to be boxing fans are content with two joke fights taking place as long as it means Wilder doesn't get to take Parkers scalp and his belt.
    Ive never witnessed such rabid hate for a boxer before in my life.
