Loads seem to hate on him. Met him quite a few times, lovely lad, time for everyone and very humble unlike some boxers Ive met.
He used to come across like that, I recall, early in his career, and then at some point turned into a complete arrogant twit and turned off much of his fan base (at least on here).
He is a proper nice lad, he has said he has been a divy at times himself, but mainly due to making weight at LHW, starving and dropping so much weight. Seen him with a disabled kid outside Goodison this season, an he was just unreal with him, made the kids day, then obviously a big crowd him got round him, he stayed an signed all autographs an had photos. He said to people who complimented him, I'm no different to you :good
That's because you hate Adonis even more Seriously I dunno how this fight will play out. It's just that Bellew's been looking good since he moved up. Cleverly and Masternak are 2 very solid wins. If he can stay on his feet vs Lebedev and win 3-4 rounds, anything can happen on the cards in Liverpool. Although I wouldn't bet on Bellew.
Well I just think you dont like Bellew to be honest. You arent even giving him a punchers chance, EDIT. Actually just read some of your posts in other threads, changed my mind. You dont hate Bellew. You are just clueless or a parody account on the wind up
:yep Bellew is okay as is Masternak, and I'm a big fan of Clev's but he's not suited for CW, and remember Bellew barely beat both of them, but none of them are even close to being on Lebedev's level, Denis has always be a few levels higher than both B and M, and I can't envisage any scenario in which Bellew wins and remains on his feet by the end of the fight.
You're right, I'm not huge on him on a personal level, he's an okay boxer but nothing great. CW is stacked as it can get and I just have a hard time seeing him win against any of the fighters I've previously mentioned.
I have a feeling the Bellew votes are going to be coming from a certain island in the Northern Atlantic
Clev didnt want to fight, he wanted nothing to do with that fight when he felt Bellews punch at CW, he just went into survival mode and defended, plus first fight could have gone either way. As said early re Maternak, long time out of ring, tough fight and ill the week of fight
It wasn't the weight cutting stuff as much as just disrespectful & bitchy comments he made toward his opponents (I think circa the Chilemba rematch, as well as Cleverly) displaying a completely overblown idea of himself as some world-beater and coming across very arrogantly.
No you're wrong about that. Check my thread history. I have around 450 threads about fighters from every corner of the world including a ton of Brits I'm very fond of, two of my favorite fighters are Calzaghe and Froch in fact, and I'm fond of Brook, McDonnell, Saunders, Groves, Clev, Enzo etc. I just don't like Khan, Fury and Bellew all that much.:conf
He also just has that kind of face that you want to punch....... His personality certainly doesn't help that very much either.
