Really? Always been arrogant. His personality was considered worse back when they first met. It was only recently that Bellew sort of lost the plot and became widely disliked.
Bellew is one of the most annoying, disrespectful and strange looking people in boxing. He speaks facts as he sees them, and if you don't agree verbally abuses you. Regarding Cleverly, he hates everything about the man, his degree, what he wears, opponents, his WBO title etc...The history books will always show Cleverly as a world champion and for Bellew, Youtube will always show him being an ar*e and having his ar*e handed to him by Stephenson.
Actually you've reminded me. I never liked cleverly before his loss. Always thought he was better than he was , Enzo Mac would have knocked him out cold had that fight ever happened IMO.
