    I dont have time to watch a 30 minute Bellew interview but his losses were round prediction isn't that outlandish.

    Also he is a big supporter of eddie.... Eddie has made him a multi millionare so it's hardly surprising is it.

    Is it bitterness or is he trying to talk his way in to a multi million pound fight (again)?

    Strange man. Along with the matchroom cheerleading I’ve always found him a bit of a virtue signaller. Really really hope Usyk destroys him, one of the most dislikable fighters for me.

    I'm not a fan of Bellew, I have picked against him on a number of occasions and he has proved me wrong each time.

    I don't think we should just dismiss what he says as just "butt hurt" or "bitterness",

    Bellew told us before the first Haye fight that Haye was done, finished, his body was broken and he was laughed at by quite a few people who said he was trying to convince himself, the bookies didn't believe him either, many expected him to get KTFO.

    He won, then the rematch happened and before that he said he would do a more clinical job, it would be conclusive and end quicker.

    Bellew was correct again.

    From what I heard or read Bellew is now saying the same about Fury as he said about Haye, the inactivity and lack of quality opposition in the build up to a big fight will be a problem and instead of injuries with Haye, it is the abuse of Furys body will cost him.

    I believe it's hard to disagree with him on those points, they are valid points and questions everybody has asked or are still asking.

    Bellew, love or hate him knows boxing, he knows what he is talking about, he doesn't get everything right but nobody does so you have to respect his opinions.

    Maybe it’s a Liverpool/Manchester thing. Fury is from Manchester isn’t he?

    I don’t think people are disregarding his opinion it’s the way bellew Whyte and hearn are now switching the narrative when he first signed for warren it was the oh he’s scared of bellew look at the clowns he’s fighting now he’s taking a far harder and Risker fight that either bellew or Whyte the narrative now is it’s a joke fight it’s a cash out this and that.

    Now it might well be those things but if it was a matchroom fighter doing it they would be spinning it as daring to be great. Is fury’s last 2 fights ideal preparation for wilder no of course not but it’s not like Tyson has never been in with the level of competition of wilder and if it’s not just a blatant cash out then obviously they have treated his last 2 fight’s we just dusting the cobwebs off.

    It’s not like Johnson who’s going in with the biggest puncher at lightheavy weight who’s never been in with close of that level of fighter and who’s had 1 round in 2 years with a British level fighter and who has failed medical’s and has had to deal with the passing of his father is being thrown to the wolves in promotion of hearns American deal but we are supposed to swallow the bull**** pr spin that will come from hearn on that fight yet not on fury vs wilder it’s clear hypocrisy.

    Why is Bellew not allowed to say Fury is taking this fight to soon and will get knocked out? Its not beyond the realms of possibility.

    One can say Uzyk will destroy Bellew but Bellew can't say Wilder will beat Fury easily?

    I've listened to Bellew and a couple of snippets from Hearn and I haven't heard anything like that. Just scepticism about the difference between what Fury had said before and the approach he'd now chosen to adopt. Just as what he's said about Fury's conditioning it strikes me as perfectly rational.

    I also think Bellew likes Fury and gets on well with him. I just think if you ask him a question he'll give you a blunt answer.

    Bellend has been sucking AJ's **** for a good while now even though its clear to see, AJ doesn't have the same levels of disturbing infatuation for Bellew as Bellew does for him. Bellew mentioned once that he rings AJ up all the time and talks to him. You can be sure that AJ probably can't wait to get off the phone. Tony probably rambles on incessantly like Paulie Malignaggi does and goes away from the convo thinking that the person on the other end really enjoyed their convo.

    Same for Eddie Hearn. Tony sucks his **** a lot too. So does Anthony Fowler. It's quite embarassing as you don't need to be an expert to see in their IFL videos, Hearn clearly looks down on Bellew but puts up him with him as he's a cashcow right now.

    Anthony Fowler though must be like a little annoying chihuahua to Eddie, constantly responding to fans on twitter saying "Eddie's the man, he always makes fights for the fans, come on Eddie, haven't heard from ya in a few days laa, make the fight Eddie, best promoter in the world you are". ****ing embarassing.

    Who cares what Tony thinks , he didn't want anything of Wilder or his buddy Joshua so he is not relevant in the heavies.

    Bellew’s bumming of AJ is embarrassing. Have you ever heard AJ wax lyrical about Bellew? No. It’s unrequited infatuation. Absolutely embarrassing when you consider the fact that Bellew is a more experienced boxer who was a World Champion.

    I could understand it if Bellew and AJ went back years. But they don’t. It’s so odd. Not to mention Bellew has built himself to be an anti-PED crusader in boxing. Yet he would never question his bum boy despite the substantial evidence that suggests PED use from Joshua.
