    He doesn't want to fight the "Dusseldorf Fury" because he know what will happen but he fancies himself against one full of ring rust so he is only calling out that version...

    There’s no title to gain but reputation wise it would be massive if he knocked out Parker when Joshua couldn’t.

    Or if he chins Whyte faster than Joshua.

    I don’t think he beats either but to say these fights are meaningless is not true. They are big PPV fights in the UK like it or not.

    I think Whyte would be very bad for Bellew and he should stay well clear. I think in terms of levels, Bellew would be a more skilful, faster opponent than Chisora, Allen, Lewison, Helenius, Browne etc However, you have to respect size. Whyte is 3 stone heavier, a little bit taller with a very long reach. His jab is getting better and better, and whilst he sparked Browne with a highlight reel knockout, the way he busted up Browne’s face with the jab was the most impressive aspect of that fight.

    Bellew would not be able to hold the centre of the ring against him.

    i disagree, whyte bellew could probably be ppv but the build up would have to be fiery and sky would need to promote the hell out of it to generate the buys to give each a good pay day, so that fight maybe.

    But Parker there is nothing to gain, parker bellew with no titles is not a ppv fight and would flop if it did, plus it could potentially be a stinker as parkers last 2 fights have been quite boring, nothing to gain for bellew.

    He’s already stated that he isn’t going near Parker. He said he would have done if he had a belt, but there’s no point fighting him now.

    In terms of winning against a high profile opponent, Ward is his best option. He is too big, strong and savvy for him. No way could Ward knock him out unless he aimed for the tezzers again. Personally though, i’d rather he retire if he won’t fight Usyk/Gassiev.

    I like the Bellew-Ward fight at CW or HW. I think there are interesting dynamics involved. The fight may not be pretty but whenever a proposed match-up between two high profile boxers has you putting serious thought into a prediction, it’s a valid fight IMO. I’m a big Ward fan too so it naturally appeals.

    Depending how Ward carries his power I wouldn’t be THAT surprised if he was to stop Bellew with body shots since Tony is very fleshy around that area.

    I’m a Ward fan too, bud. Although his style isn’t appealing to a casual audience, his skills are quite simply some of the best in boxing. His inside work is exceptional. The only criticism, if you can call it that, is that his power hasn’t really carried up from 160/168 to 175. I’m not sure what power he could then bring with an extra 25ib. Whereas Bellew prior to what many thought before the second fight, carries POWAH :)

    I want to see Bellew v WBSS winner. After all most people on here proclaim fury still to be heavyweight champ so how can for the first time in history one man have all 4 cruiserweight belts when he hasn’t beaten Tony Bellew?

    He would walk him down and hurt him, with zero respect for what's coming back

    SOB Ward would land a lot of very low blows and as soon as Ward landed punches to the testicles he would call it a knockout for SOB! I would suggest Bellew wear a very strong cup with shock absorbers on it!
