    Difference is, this is this cruiserweight 188lbs pre HGH Holyfield instead of heavyweight post HGH 218lbs Holyfield, which makes a lot of difference.

    the 188 CW version wins a close but clear decision vs 199lbs CW Bellew.
    the 30lbs heavier HW version by stoppage within 5.

    Definitely mate. To many folk talk about fighters, forgetting they are actually fighters, boxers, in arguably the toughest sport on earth.

    There is lack of understanding by many.

    Bellew goes down quicker than Katie Price sighting a pecker - fook me do people not know their boxthing or is this a fishing thread?

    Can’t believe this has done more pages than the rounds Bellew would last.

    It's interesting the comparrison with Cleverly, I still remember their first fight when Cleverly was seen as a top prospect by many and Bellew came down as a late replacement and was seen as a poor replacement by many.
