    Does he really stand a chance against the likes of Chad Dawson, Bernard Hopkins, Jean Pascal

    I don't think he will beat Dawson, If Hopkins shows his age and has an off night then Tony has a chance, I think he has a decent chance of beating Pascal but he would have to be on the ball and utilize his jab.

    I think he'll win a world title but I don't think he'll be the true number 1 of the division. I think he might move up to cruiserweight at some point in the future too.

    Yeah, I think he'll win a belt, all be it probably a vacant one.

    Dawson is a tough fight for Tony, if he beats Pascal and Bellew beats Chilemba, Chad will vacate.

    If Pascal wins I can see Tony having to travel to Canada, it's a very winnable fight for Tony, stick a solid jab in Pascal's face and he's pretty clueless, just look what Froch did to him in the mid-late rounds, Jean comes out the blocks quick, but he runs out of steam by about the 8th round.

    If Tony can weather the early storm, keep his concentration and use the jab as much as possible, he'll win IMO.

    Im not sure If he will get a world title, I'd like him too and hope he does and preferably smashing up Cleverly.

    He did beat Cleverly the only reason he didn't get the verdict is because ratboy is Franks golden child.

    He must be atleast pretty good, he supposedly gave Carl Froch a black eye in his camp for the Mack fight, Carl reckons hes up there with the best he's fought and Carls fought the likes of Mikkel Kessler and Andre Ward, hes gotta be pretty good

    with the way he approaches fights he needs to understand to fight for a world title he is gonna have to stop taking his foot off the pedal when in control of a fight

    its all well and good being careful just to ensure you get the win at the end of the night, but the real money makers of the sport that make it big in america are those who know how to entertain and put an opponent away

    Since that fight however you scored it, Bellew has improved and worked his way up the rankings, Cleverly is regarded as a joke, fought cannon fodder and has the audacity to prance around calling himself ''World Champion'' utter **** of a man.
