    Suicide mission for Bellew.

    Bomber won't go anywhere near Wilder.Not even for a cash out.Wilder would ruin him,plus he could cash out and make more elsewhere, if he gets past Haye.

    Bellew is really a CW I think. He got a big HW win over Haye which elevates his name but I think he would struggle at HW in general

    I dont think it would be wise for Bellew to face Wilder.
    Bellew is a blown up CW and I dont know how well he would do at British title level at HW

    I would like to see Bellew fight Joe Joyce after he gets his second win against Haye.

    His point is, Wilder does not want to go to Britain to fight Joshua. I wonder why.....

    That would be an intriguing match up. Would Bellew be too experienced or would Joyce be too big and strong?

    I think Whyte's performance vs Helenious ended Wilder's option of a big pay day against Whyte.

    Whyte is shyte and doesn't deserve a title shot.

    Wilder ends him quick and clinical.

    Do you not think Wilder would get paid well for that fight if it were to happen in the UK? I would guess that it would be billed as a box office event

    I think the chance of that fight happening for Wilder ended after Whyte's performance against Helenious.

    It would of been a big fight after Dillian had the very entertaining fight with Chisora, then KO'ing his next opponent in style.

    After the Helenious fight, it is pretty clear Wilder will stop Whyte mid rounds.

    Whyte looked sloppy, and struggled to land anything clean against Helenious.

    It might still be a box office fight in the UK. It just won't make near the same money as a month ago.

    Bellew doesn't want to fight a 'big' heavyweight.

    He's already said this.

    He's too small to get in there with a Joshua/Wilder.

    I think he'd fight Parker though.
