Thought I'd start a thread on this, its been coming for a while this but its confirmed now. Wonder how long until he'll fight Dawson, he needs to make sure he does the business on March 30th. Tony Bomber Bellew ‏@TonyBellew Getting a call off good friends to congratulate me on becoming #1 in the WBC! Thanks but we are only half way there! #March30thEchoArena 👊
Id rather see Bellew/Pascal than Bellew/Dawson however if he is gonna fight Dawson (if he beats Chilemba) id like to see him another fight with a decent light-heavyweight before it.
Its gonna be cringe worthy when Bellew is ringside in Canada calling them out, and nobody knows who the **** he is!
Pascal is just to tough for Tony in my opinion. Pasc can make it a war and he will be to strong for Bellew. With Dawson theres times where he doesnt show up mentally and Tony could take advantage of that.
If Fast Eddie can get Dawson to Liverpool I agree Dawson could fall apart mentally. I think Bellews jab would give him a good chance against pascal but im pretty certain pascal could put Bellew down.
Balonti had a ridicuously high ranking and gutneckt was number one but he has moved down due to his loss.
Thought he might have to win the Euro to get this shot,but looks like he gets it if all goes well in his next one.Agree with Smoggy,though,that it might be helpful to get another win over a good man first.Might not be easy,but cant see why he cant beat Pascal or Dawson,neither of whom are any better than Cleverly IMO.
Still No.2 according to the Feb 2013 Rankings. [url]http://suljos.com/swf/ratings/WBC_RATINGS_February_2013.pdf[/url]
