    Most of us will be aware Usyk has called Bellew out. I now see Bellew and Hearn seem keen to make the fight. If Bellew fights Usyk will those who slag him of start respecting him ? As lets be honest Bellew could fight lesser opponents for more money.

    Like you say it’s about respect if Bellew fights Usyk I will respect him as a fighter but as a person not a chance he’s scum

    Bellew is no warrior - he will turn his back and offer his arris to any elite fighter as soon as he is hurt. The day before the Stevenson fight he was shouting about someone having to kill him in the ring before he gave up yet the first decent punch that Stevenson landed he did not want to know.

    Yellow Bellew and Fatty Fury will provide the usual WWE hype out of the ring, both provide boring tripe in the ring when they fight each other and sail off into the sunset with the PPV mugs money yet again.

    This has been well discussed by both camps behind the scenes, including the scripted acting, and I would be very surprised if the Usyk fight happened.

    The thick PPV mugs should stand by for another rogering.

    He will make usyk come up to heavyweight for it 100%....doesn't have many other options tbf. Ward won't come out of retirement, fury is years away and Stevenson just doesn't fight.

    Usyk beats Bellend, but so do Gassiev, Dorticos and Breidis. Bellend isnt even top 4 at CW. He beat a shot faded Haye- who only came out of retirement because he lost all his money to a divorce and bad business deals in the Middle east.

    Usyk needs to drag himself up to HW and fight the highest ranked guy he can get- he needs to get a shot against Wilder or AJ ASAP.

    Bellew would beat Gassiev everyday of the week. His speed, movement, jab and boxing IQ would off set Gassievs power. Plus Bellew hits every bit as hard

    You’ve got to respect Bellew if he takes the fight.

    You’ve also got to be realistic and not lose any respect for him if he doesn’t.

    Usyk has just absolutely schooled a world class cruiser. He’s destroyed a very good Joe Joyce at heavyweight in the amateurs. He’s a threat to anyone. I think it was @N17 whos just said on the general that if he moves up he’s going to have to get in a mandatory position because there’s no way anyone is risking against him.

    Who are these lesser opponents he would get more money to face?

    Seeing Bellend get smashed to pieces in front of a bunch of self pitying scousers would be a joy to watch.

    Absolutely yes. I can’t see it happening though.

    Stevenson and Ward at Cruiserweight, or Dillian Whyte at heavyweight (that becomes a big ppv fight if whyte beats Parker).

    I get the impression Bellew actually thinks he could beat Usyk from the things he’s said plus the chance to fight for all the belts I think this fight might happen.

    Usyk calling Bellew our after the fight will obviously have increased Bellews ego to unprecedented levels.

    Whyte v Bellew looks highly likely for me. If Joshua fights Wilder in April, i definitely think Hearn will go with that. That's if of course, Whyte beats Parker.

    seen better ppv match ups but seen worse. If and its a big if Whyte beats Parker as a ppv headliner the way him and Bellew talk a fight between both would be commercially huge.
