    Do not exaggerate. Schulz would get knocked out cold. Bellew is too slick, he counterpunched Haye, made him look like an amateur and KNOCKED him OUT cold.

    People getting a little too high on Tony after twice beating a faded and then shot and injured Haye. I want to see him matched with a legit, fully-fit top 10-15 HW before concluding if he can cut it up there....

    The Haye who fought Wlad would have battered Bellew, imho

    Notice Bellew has made no effort to secure another fight except making noises on another sbo payday vs Fury. Thinks he is big time but look at his resume and it's paper thin bar one faded and shot to hell has been.

    Isn't Bellew the same guy who was brutally destroyed by LHW Stevenson and had 2 close wars vs freakin' Natan Cleverly? Don't overrate him

    The faded version of Haye that Bellew fought is much weaker than the prime version Klitschko defeated.

    Prime Haye, Povetkin, Jennings, Chambers, Chagaev, Ibragimov, McCline, 2008 Thompson, 2000 Byrd, 2000 Barrett, Pulev, and 2005 Peter would all beat Bellew.

    In fact, I think DaVarrell Williamson, 2007 Brewster, Botha, Shultz, Jefferson and faded Mercer would have a good chance of winning against Bellew.

    klitschko
    opposition that would beat bellew for sure?

    Wlad - Shaggy, Iggy, probably Pov. Perhaps Sam Peter and Tony Thompson.
    Vitali - Byrd, lewis (early ko).

    Bellew is barely a fringe contender at HW.

    bellew is a bum. beating an old, overrated, injured man is no great accomplishment.

    na, those are the definites.

    Sure bellew is not much, but Wlads title run was a horribly manufactured act, with a few bright spots, and Vitalis is worse.

    LOL @ this thread. A prime Frans Botha would probably have some sort of strap in today's HW scene. It's probably easier to make a thread on "which Wlad opponents COULDN'T beat Bellew?"

    I would also add Calvin Brock, whom I tend to believe is an underrated Wlad opponent.
