    I said I thought Bellew would win. white tiger said he thought i was lying. i genuinly think bellew will win because i dont think clev can take his shots however i think clev is the better boxer but will just get hit too much in this one

    Lirva you ****ing ******......

    McIntosh was offered 12k to fight Bellew with no titles on the line. He fought Cleverly for 10k in a British and Commonwealth title fight. ****ing pudding :patsch

    And once again. He never said "I never thought I'd have to go 12 rounds" he said "I never thought I'd do 12 rounds at this weight" meaning he never thought he'd be able to last the distance at the weight.

    Say what you want about me 'nut-hugging' (as you like to call it) but your **** when it comes to Bellew/Gavin etc etc is bordering lunacy.

    :lol: On what basis will he mentally crumble? I'd be worried a lot more about Bellew hitting canvas against Bob and the mythical big puncher Ovil :happy

    It really is a strange one.

    Id like to point out that Im yet to be fully convinced by Cleverly although he has a few good wins on his record. He also has some very ugly wins on his record, but you could argue they were against "better opposition".

    Whereas who is the best name on Bellew's record? McKenzie? Who lets face it isnt great, and he nearly upset him in the first fight. And in the second Tony cruised it, although it was certainly a snooze fest.

    He's definatly the number 2 light heavy in the country, but I think that says more about how poor the division is, rather than how talented the Bomber is. He should be stepping up to Euro level now, and proving or testing himself there. Much like Cleverly did. Personally I dont think Tony is talented enough or has a good enough chin, to be any more than a good Euro level fighter.

    But as a say the light heavy division is so poor, who knows what could happen. But pound 4 pound if this was any other division it would be a completely different conversation.

    Straight to the point and scathing at the same time :good

    I wanna know how being a contender for 2 titles makes less cash than Bellew fight. The reason he took Clev fight for that money is because of the options it would of made for him if he would of won that fight. Beating Bellew back then meant **** all to be fair cos Bellew had no striped at that time.

    Bellew and Mac would be a good fight, I do fancy Bellew to win heavily tho...

    He'd just been handled by Cleverly in 7. Proving he wasn't domestic level at the time, and Bellew had just come off beating Valecky in a single round. This is the same Valecky who in his previous fight had just taken Steiglitz the distance in a 10 rounder. The very same Steiglitz who in the next fight after Valecky won a World Title :good

    Say what you want but McIntosh should have taken 12k, considering he'd just been handled by ******s more experienced pro at 175.

    I would fancy Bellew to do Enzo also.

    Bellew says McIntosh was looking for "world title money" and turned down great money but we see the truth coming out from the McIntosh camp. 12k - :lol:

    Keep on fighting the Paul Davids and celebrating afterwards like you have won the euromillions lotto Tony.

    I wouldn't say Bellew is DEFINITELY number 2 behind Clev since McIntosh has achieved far more in his career than Bellew has.

    I disagree with that.

    Not doing Bellew down - I know he posts on here and read these threads - but he has yet to prove he is good enough to beat Cleverley.

    His couplf of performances against McKenzie - is not enough to convince he can be competitive enough to have a good chance of beating Cleverly.

    I think Cleverly is smug - cos he thinks - rightly or wrongly - he will beat Bellew easily.

    Oi........... numnuts.

    £12k is £2k more than he was getting as an unbeaten fighter, fighting for a British and Commonwealth title fight.
