    Very true. I even remember him downright refuse to face Joshua or Wilder because they are “too big for him”.

    But now that Fury is back and looking worse than ever, Bellew is all okay with facing a Super Heavy...

    Exactly. Fury put out a heartfelt message to Bellew saying he didn't want to fight him because he's only a CW and he has a wife and kids and he doesn't want to hurt him, whereas Bellew wants Fury at his worst, when he's trying to rebuild his career and get his life back together after ballooning up to 500lbs, snorting enough blow to fill up a caravan, and spent the best part of 3 years battling severe depression and suicidal thoughts.

    To be honest, I don't think Bellew has ever truly forgiven Fury for accusing him of being a homosexual and his revenge is to try and ruin Fury's life and send him spiraling back into the pit of despair he's only just managed to pull himself out of.

    Tony Bellend needs to get back to his own division and take the beatings he deserves.

    Dorticos would annihilate him as would Usyk and Gassiev.

    We get it, Bellend. All you did was beat a physically shot former top HW, twice.

    If they fought now, I could see Bellew whipping Fury's ass. Fury has a long long way to go to get back to his championship winning form.

    Fury would knock Bellew out. Bellew refused to fight Fury in a tuneup fight because Bellew said Fury was too big for him........................

    Yep and Fury stated he was be ready to beat Joshua, but instead fought the second best cruiserweight in the Seferi family.

    Fury has not been averse to calling Bellew out, did he not call Bellew out when Bellews rematch with Haye initially was postponed?

    Likewise why would Bellew not call Fury out, it is professional boxing, you try to get the fights that make the money, as Fury says he is the lineal champion, so why would a cruiserweight like Bellew be a risky fight?

    In build up to the Seferi fight Tyson said, "I'm coming into the prime of my career now and I've never felt better. I'm fitter, stronger and faster than the Fury of 2015." those are the lineal champs words, ok they are hype but so are Bellews words, Hearn and Fury are not going to allow a fight against Bellew to happen unless it suits Furys plans.
