    Should have been fighting at 200 pounds.

    He was never going to beat the stevensons or dawsons.

    Thank **** he never fought kovalev. He would have gotten seriously embarrassed.

    Dont think he will do anything at cruiser either to be honest

    It's what many people have been calling for, for years.

    At least he won't be battling his weight whilst training. He could focus 100% on skill work and not have to kill himself with two battles (the diet and the training).

    In theory; Everything should work in his favour IF he moves up.

    Except that there are fighters at CW who you would pick to KO Bellew. CW has some good champs who hit hard so not an easy task. Worth a try though.

    I agree.

    But I just think that it's a move that has a LOT of advantages that maybe were holding him back @ LHW. We'll see though... ;-)

    No doubt, he looked far too skinny to me last night and putting on some weight wont harm him. As i said its worth a shot as he has no chance at LHW.

    He will have more success at cruiser IMO.
    Looked terrified against Stevenson

    Why Hearn signed him is crazy,he offers nothing. Should be a commentator with the talking he's does.

    CW should be a no no,he'll get punished there!

    Talks a good fight but never delivers always spouting of he's a smashing machine, move up in weight big money fight with his old foe Nathan then retire

    I think Tony could win a world title at Crusier,he will have so much more strength at 200lbs.
    Ive seen Tony first hand in the gym hed take his speed up with him and be much more naturally stronger

    Any Bellew bashers go **** yourselves, or your mums! He has more heart and belief aka brave, than any of you. I not only wish him the best, I believe he will be champion of the world

    I would like to see Tony at Cruiser, he wasn't a natural light heavyweight imo, I think he can get a title shot, whether he wins one is a different matter. I worry more for Nathan Cleverly at cruiser.
