    Parker wanted to face Bellew. but Bellew strangely chose to face Haye again just because it was more money.
    I think Bellew is underrated and would beat Parker, and I think he'd have a chance against Wilder.

    Bellew is chasing the cash. Joshua is the only real cash cow that holds a belt and quite frankly he doesn't deserve a shot and isn't on Joshua's radar. Parker and Wilder simply don't bring enough money to the table for Bellew to even consider fighting and obviously he isn't overly confident he can beat them to cash in on a belt should he win a title.

    Fury is a more lucrative option. Fury's absence if anything has raised his profile. I'm sure he'd get a decent payday for Fury, definitely more than he'd get for either Parker or Wilder.

    Joshua and Wilder might kill Bellew if they land on him.

    Haye is one of the biggest punchers in the HW division and his punches had no affect on Bellew.
    Haye is a more proven HW than Wilder.

    You saw what a right hand from Wilder did to Szpilka. Bellew is even smaller than Szpilka.

    I like Bellew not a bad fighter and making good money a fight with a comeback fury would be a good payer all the hype the the trash talk all that would get the casual fans going. dont think Tony can win but he would do ok .However he should stay away from Wilder .Fury is a better boxer but I think Bellew would be brutally KOed by Wilder.Not pretty a career ending fight.

    yeah but I saw Szpilka outboxing Wilder for most of the fight, and I saw Gerald Washington outboxing him. So if they can, Bellew certainly can, and if he was really disciplined he could win a decision. Obviously if Wilder lands his best shot then it probably is good night lol, however Bellew was making Haye miss a lot and his defence has improved a lot. Bellew has a better boxing brain than Wilder, I'd favour Wilder to beat Bellew like 60/40 or 65/35,

    Bellew has the heart of a lion

    Wilder ducks obviously

    But a Parker fight should now happen. There is nothing stopping that fight getting made right now, and Tony needs to drop the Haye fight from his memory bank, because Haye won’t be fit to fight second time around either.
