    One of the best British boxers of the last decade. Possibly top 10/15 all time British?

    Say no more.

    Props to Bellew on a good career. With proper insight through Bellew maybe not even top 100 British of all time.

    Interesting question which is the better win? Williams over Tyson or Bellew over Haye.

    Would have to go with Williams myself.

    A few are debatable. I’ll just put this out there that I’m not Tony’s biggest fan.

    I’ve still yet to see 9/14 better than Bellew in the last decade. He’s top 10/15 of then at least. Maybe longer, maybe I’m wrong. The decade at least I’m right.

    Good fighter and sets a good example to young people ( apart from head to head pressers)

    Dont not get too sucked in by the event ! He beat a washed up Haye that should not have been in there . If Haye had a warm up fight after his recovery this fight would of never even happened

    Please behave, Bellew has undoubtedly had a career to be proud of but beating a shot Haye does not make him top 15/20 all time British.
