Scissors this is where I disagree. Yes I fully agree Haye has a lot more power than Usyk, however Haye is so much slower than what he was 5 yrs + ago. Usyk will surely consistently land against Bellew unlike Haye and the accumulation is bound to have a detrimental effect. That accumulation will surely be a lot more dangerous than a faded slow Haye had to offer. A late (maybe early) stoppage in this fight is a high possibility.
I actually think Bellew knows he's heading for a schooling and his gameplan will be to negate the win to the least emphatic as possible.
Gassiev punches were sent by telegraph. He was so flat footed it was unreal. Taking nothing away from Usyk, he was special in beating him. If Bellew badly hurts or stops Usyk it won't be from a shot he sees coming, it will be one that is disguised and he doesnt see till its too late. Bellew is capable of landing that shot as he has the boxing IQ and will that Gassiev did not show.
He could get stopped as unlike Gassiev he will go for it at some point. I don't agree he is slow though, far from it.
Bellew does not have speed of punch unlike Gassiev who has fast hands and almost couldn’t lay a glove on Usyk you will see Usyk school Bellew without doubt
It wasn't Gassievs hand speed that was main issue it was the slow flat footwork. If you don't have good footwork you are not getting near Usyk. Bellew has good footwork (Not Usyk level my any means) so will land more than Gassiev did as a result. I have never said Bellew beats Uysk. Does he have a chsnge, yes he does but its a big ask.
