    I'd hardly say he was the pinnacle of fitness in the Haye fights, he was up against a guy with one leg for a lot of the first fight and struggled to get him out of there, he looked sluggish but tried to mask it by trying to look all calm and collected.

    He must have got circa £5 million for Canelo too, mega money for his talent. No wonder he barely boxes anymore.

    He should retire and use some of his resources into an autism foundation or something. He’s clearly passionate about that. Can’t knock Callum even though I’m not a fan, him and Stephen seem to be the nicer of the brothers.

    He had about as much success as your walking punchbag DDD will tomorrow night Jim and that’s not easy for me to say because I cannot stand Bellew.

    15 stone 4 against Haye so I guess so, depends how much he went up after that fight. I just remember the look of him at the time, like he'd lost 10 years.

    Not going to lie Jim, I was 10 cheap pints in on a holiday to Slovenia watching a dicey stream of that fight, so memory may be failing!

    It’s good that we all seem to unanimously agree that everyone who posts on here have nothing good to say about Bellew.

    He had clearly ballooned up Bowe style (for a small heavyweight I mean) and struggled to make Cruiser. That’s why we all knew he would be toast by around the 8th.

    he has the sort of body a fella on a holiday to tenerife has somebody who goes to gym spends most of time talking keeps the weight off a bit but has no muscle tone or anything like that he looked like an average Joe never even had a six pack ffs look at the fellas in weight divisions with weight limits nearly all have six pack it gets lazier and lazier as the weights go up its a shame as heavyweight most important division hope you had a good holiday bud hope it was a legal stream

    Weren't all the titles he won, vacant at the time, as in, no reigning and defending championship wins?

    One of the podcasts I listen to has a feature "Bellew Of The Week", holy f*** it's funny

    It was legal because I didn't get caught. Best holiday I had in years but regretted drinking the local unfiltered IPA, room smelled like a byre the next morning.

    Bellew was never really a lean fighter, he won his ABA titles as a heavy. There was something of the Enzo about their large frame but lack of muscle.
