Rob hits the nail on the head when he says we will not see the best of Bellew until he moves up to Cruiserweight, why he wants to fight at light heavy is a mystery and could potentially be damaging in the future. Yes he can just about make the weight but when he moves up to cruiser he will have a lot more weight to play with and then I believe we will see the best of him.
Get back to boxrec you! well i assume thye all were Sky sports ,sky sports had there logo on the jennings fight poster
what the hell are you chatting? (rob hits the nail on the head) how would you know anything about bellew?? stop going on like you know something about boxing. you know nothing. every1 can see that by your lack of knowledge in your earlier posts. i know bellew very well and he doesnt need or want to go up to cruiser weight till he has won all he can at light heavy. he makes the weight every time with a week to go before a fight and he does the weight correct so why go up to cruiser???? because a clueless arm chair fan like your self says you think he should.
Ok ask him how many times he has made lhw, how the **** do you know what my boxing knowledge is? Just because i dissagree with a load of delusional scousers means i no nothing. In your opinion what is bellew going to win at lhw? at most it will be a manufactured world title ie wbo, he will not imo be regarded in the top 4 lhw. Cruiserweight he might.
I don't see the fuss about Bellew making the weight. He's not Bob Foster and with 24 hr weigh ins a plan can be formulated for him to make the weight safely IMO. He's best off using his dimensions to his advantage at 175 IMO: add to the fact that Cruiserweight is not a historically deep or prestigious division, I reckon Tony should try and make his mark at 175.
have you ever read his other posts? why start your post slagging someone of it just makes you sound like a moron. tbh your the one that looks like he has no knowledge of boxing outside of Liverpool as you never post about other fighters. 1) Bellew has not made cruiser every time he has only come in under 175 for his title fight. 2) You can look at his physique and tell you will not get the best out of him. he has the physique of a 6ft2 7 year old, no muscle mass. i am not saying Bellew will do nothing at Light Heavy, just I think we will see the best of him at Cruiserweight. Bellew is 28 this year, and at his current rate of progress he won't fight more than 3 times this year. I really rate Tony but worry he is going to end up in the same situation as Kevin Mitchell when he fights for a world title.
When and if Bellew adds some muscle to his body he will become more dynamic and explosive, this will not happen at lhw.
just for your information mate bellew hasn't made the 12-7 limet once. He made it against Mathew Ellis. When he thought he was fighting some1 else. He got weighed in 24 hours before the fight then when he got told his opponent has pulled out and only Ellis would take a fight he then gained weight to come in again heavier. And also why would any fighter want to make the weight for a non title fight??? He gets him self a pound or 2 above the weight when he wasn't at title fight level, the same as what other fighters including his opponents do for a non title fight
I know that your the type of person who comes on and chats **** when he knows nothing at all about what he's saying. Eg when you said bellews power is over rated. He is by far the biggest punching light heavy in the uk so how's his power over rated????? You also said he struggles with the weight when you have no clue at all about how he is at the weight. Your talking ****. Why not talk about something you know a little something about. And Like I said before to some 1 he has made the light heavy limet twice but he is always around a pound or 2 above the title weight limit. Why would a boxer who is naturally heavy come in at a title weigtht when his opponent isn't???? Like I said before evry1 is entitled to an opponion but do your self a favour don't pretend to act like you know things about a fighter when it's clear everything you have said is unbelievably wrong.
Rob your so far of the mark mate,bellew is one of the most single minded people ive meet he knows what he wants and i can tell you he as the talent to get it.bellew will win a world title within 18 months imo
I'm not getting into an argument, its my opinion. My knowledge about the sport of boxing is vast :good
