    I think both Gassiev and Usyk would beat Bellew. The first one badly! However, if Eddie Hearn can do another O2 event with big money, we may actually see the fight.

    Tbf to Bellew, he is honest. He says he would never fight AJ because AJ has every attribute over him. Wilder too, when he met Wilder in person he says he realized this guy is too big, it's too dangerous.

    No but wasn’t that at light heavyweight?thats my point cause at Cruiserweight his natural division he looked so much better,granted Hearn gave him the WBC belt on a platter but nonetheless he took out that African guy that many inc News 24 ect had him favourite,Bellew basically took him into deep waters where in the so called monster just gassed and had nothing left.
    Whoever wins between Usyk and Gassiev would turn the tables and set up a big money fight in a division normally bereft of money.
    Guaranteed Bellew will not be wanting Gassiev lol,I mean Usyk presents problems of his own but being outboxed is better than being knocked out of the ring lol and crazy as it sounds I give Bellew more than a punchers chance,plus Bellew seems to Box best when he’s the underdog,he seems to like proving folk wrong.

    Yeah you can’t be more honest than that,rather than lie through his teeth saying he can compete with the big boys he knows his limitations,sounds mad at 6ft 3in doesn’t it?but this is where Usyk could struggle as these Heavyweights are super Heavyweights and are like bloody supermen or something,Ali now we’re he around would be a light heavyweight I reckon.

    Folk will think I’m mad but I honestly give Bellew a chance against Usyk,at Cruiserweight Bellew is a big lad and clearly has more power as he he’s not having to cut loads of weight.

    The rematch with Cleverly was at Cruiser weight. The win over Makabu was good. Both Usyk & Gassiev would KO Bellew. If Haye is not injured he will KO Bellew in the rematch.

    Ah right I stand corrected.
    Of course you’re probably right lol re Usyk and Gassiev but I gotta talk him up lol.

    Makabu that was him,yep good performance and then he beat one of Andre Wards pals I think it was and that was good fight while it lasted with Bellew taking risks against someone he could of outboxed imo.
    Case of striking while the irons hot with Bellew,thing is though with Haye pulling out he’s been on the shelf and inactive for a while which could have an effect
