And I know it sounds like a joke, but this could be a real possibility if bellew miraculously beats cloud or Stevenson. I take kovalev by 3rd round stoppage.
if I was tony and got offered that fight.......I would do the sensible thing......I,d get a sick note from my doctor!!!!:roll:
Bellew would need one hell of a gameplan that's for sure. Bellew is on twitter now saying kovalev is overrated so he might fancy it. Can only see one outcome though
think bellew would last longer then clev did tonight, bellew did show discipline in the second mckenzie fight but this guy is something else, plus hes got to get past stevenson first which wont happen.
I agree. Would love to see a Bellew Clev rematch if Bellew does fall short against Stevenson. Reckon Bellew would win the rematch with Clev - probably won't happen though due to rival promoters.
I think bellew beats kovalev, it was like cleverly never had a game plan an was looking away when jabbing from the start, cleverly is a good fighter but got it wrong tonight.
Wasn't to slick & quick when he squeezed out a razor thin decision over Bellew who took the fight on 3 days notice, a fight which a lot of people scored a draw.
Kovalev will knock out all the light heavyweight champions and if Ward were to fight him, Kovalev would walk right through him!!!
I have seen Bellew hurt against Mckenzie, I know he was dropped against Ajasif. He was hurt in the first Chilemba fight and should not hav won it, did not see the second. Bellew's claim to fame is giving Cleverly a tough fight other than that his resume is domestic level and I'm not sure Clverly is much more than European level.
Seems you have just started watching boxing. originally bellew took the fight on a few days notice but he did not make the weight (had no intention of doing so imo) so the fight was rescheduled.
