    Feel sorry for Tony when be steps up his going to get killed. I see him getting beat to a pulp by the likes of lebedev, Usyk and dzord. I'm sure eddie will protect him for a while more seen as he sells tickets

    Bellew is an easy night's work for any of those guys you mentioned -- along with Breidis and Durodala.

    I could see Eddie rematching Bellew with Ovill McKenzie.

    Have to give Bellew full credit for his last opponent. Solid win. Masternak is no bum, significant leap in class from his prior opponents at CW.

    Agreed, a step in the right direction. Think he still lacks at top level though

    Doubt it, High risk, low reward IMO. After his last performance i could see Ovil winning

    I expected Masternak to KO him, so I previously scaled him too low.
    But with the current beltholders at CW, I can't see him win a title.

    He should fight the argie that Mckenzie beat or should have won. He can become a world champion and realise his dream. After that he can get his cash out fights.

    Haye would kill Bellew mate! Can't see Tony wanting any of that surely??

    Would probably make a lot more money fighting Haye than he would against Lebedev, or Drozd.. Bellew isn't beating any of the CW belt holders, especially those two.

    Got to be honest, I dont know the Cruiserweight division well at all.

    Love Bellew as hes a blue an scouse, but he isnt a great boxer.

    Realistically an not hating on him, does anyone believe he can win a world title against any of the current champs?

    Wrong weight class then, Bellew hasn't done anything close to enough to step up to heavyweight - it would be a complete farce to face Haye at heavyweight. To do it at cruiser and then Haye to step back up in weight would be equally if not more farcical.

    No way in hell he beats Drozd

    No way in hell he beats Lebedev

    Would be very surprised if he could hang with Ramirez, but he has a better chance against him than he does against Drozd or Lebedev, given Ramirez's poor performance against McKenzie he's looking more beatable. Then again Bellew doesn't have that weird herky jerky kind of style that McKenzie does which frustrated the hell out of Ramirez, stylistically I think he plays to all of Ramirez strengths.

    Still don't know how good Głowacki really is but i'd favor him to bomb Bellew out at some point.

    Afolabi is too tough and power for Bellew, eventually he knocks him out. Even on a bad night(Ola is legendary for how consistent he is) I see him beating Bellew convincingly.


    In short I don't like Bellews chance against any of the current beltholders at CW :lol:
