    Honestly this could be really good for Usyk, a win vs Bellew would make him a star in the UK and give him access to the big HW fights.

    This is a total mismatch.

    Not interested after Bellew struggled with a one legged Haye. Imagine what usyk would do to him?

    I agree that Usyk schools Bellew. But this would be a great way for Usyk to build his profile before challenging Joshua and other HWs.

    Would love to see Usyk humiliate the arrogant Bellend

    Bellew will probably lose to Haye.

    I think so too, that is, if Haye can keep himself together in one piece in the meantime.

    If Haye comes in healthy, I have no doubt he gets the win. Thing is, he went in with a dodgy Achilles and was still ahead on points before his leg totally went. He doesn't even have to be 100%, just not as bad as a totally writ off Achilles

    Bellew is vastly overrated. Usyk smokes him. That's if he gets past mr. glass Haye. Which he won't unless mr glass breaks something again.

    my estimation of bellew goes up and up, hes still a mouth piece but his balls are big. hes not as bad as people make out, but this will show us, how better uysk is to haye. uysk boxes both there ears clean offf there heads.

    Perhaps he was ahead cos his legs were fine?? You saw the exact moment his ankle popped out so you can't really say he went into the fight with an injury.
    Haye has pretty much a 100% track record of pulling out of fights after sustaining injuries so he doesn't go into fights unless fully healthy!
    And lets not forget that it was Bellews plan to drag Haye into the second half of the fight where most felt the momentum would shift to Bombers favour. Tony was executing a gameplan and Haye wasn't good enough to take him out of it.

    I may be in the minority here, but Bellew is really growing on me. Seems like a decent bloke, who won’t shy away from a challenge.

    That being said, Usyk will blow him away.

    Dont rate Bellew as a fighter....but very cleverly done by him if true.

    Its a fact he went in hampered by his Achilles, common knowledge. Yeah it totally blew in the 6th but before that there was obvious problems !

    Usyk would be a 15-1 fav over Bellew and I like Tony
