    I had a lot of respect for Tony for what he did in this fight but I cant listen to the man anymore. the stuff he is coming out with is beyond a joke, in this interview I have posted he is talking about breaking Haye down mentally and physically.

    he also says if the situation was reversed after the fight Haye would have basically mocked Tony and ridiculed him, when evidence shows Haye always gave his opponent credit after a win, even to Chisora after that grudge they had.

    In comparison Bellew goes on to say he went over to David and carried him to his corner because he is such a great humanitarian. in return for this great gesture Haye forced him to sent his family away as they were afraid for his life due to smack talk, you took the fight mate!

    I cant stand it! I am not even Hayes biggest fan but the bull being spouted out is too much, and the interviewers just agree without question. I might sound like a cry baby, not that he gives a **** but I am fast losing respect for the man, he talks about being real but everything he says is based on lies and fabrication, totally distorted and bad mouthing Haye while pretending to compliment him. reminds me of a sociopaths behaviour.

    His comments about the WBC belt, saying he really cares and is proud of the title but wont be defending it against Uysk because there is no money in it. He is fooling the public into thinking he is an elite level fighter but what he is actually doing is ducking the best in his division and looking for a cash out fight. I don't think any boxing fan is interested to see him up against any of the top heavyweights or even on a PPV card ever again.

    Utterly boring how you want to knock his achievements down.
    Didn't say anything out of order to me. You just don't like the fella, which you're fully entitled not to, but don't try and dress it up because it just comes across as bitter.

    I dont dislike Bellew at all, before the fight I found him amusing and felt he was handing the pre fight stuff brilliantly, I thought he was getting under Hayes skin, I wrote this in other posts. Even post fight, superb how he went over to Haye, I just thought classy guy. I really didnt want to see Bellew humiliated.
    Its this post fight stuff, he really is trying to make out Haye is scum of the earth while he himself is salt of the earth, i find in overboard and vomit inducing. and as said, he is trying to fool the public into thinking he fought a live opponent in Haye, its really laughable. Its like Danny Williams claiming he beat a prime Tyson. I commend his win, he lasted the course when Haye couldnt but he is distorting the reality of it, from a man that claims to be as real as you can get....

    Remember this is a guy in the build up to the Cleverly rematch who tried to publicise Clev's alleged alcohol therapy. The "good guy" nonsense is fooling no one. "Don't sweat, there are kids here" coming from a notoriously foul mouthed boxer.

    Both he and Coldwell have acted as if they planned for Haye's Achilles to snap.

    Okay, I take it back, I thought you were jumping on him like many others.

    We have to remember though, that Haye was gonna smash him to bits and put him in hospital. In hindsight he's probably reflecting about how Haye's comments affected his family in the build up.

    Before Saturday night, Haye was considered by many to be capable of beating everyone in the heavyweight division. Now Bellew beats him, everyone wants to say how he is in fact way past his prime (he is) etc.

    If Bellew lost, it's a mismatch and Haye goes on to dominate the division. If Bellew won, he just beat a has-been. He can't win.

    thanks. I feel like he says one thing and means another with the pre fight stuff. He said it means nothing just build up, then the next thing he is saying he had to send his family into protective custody lol. ok maybe not but he is pouring it on a bit. I see what you are saying about the mis match thing but its not even though Bellew fought a faded Haye that was past it, he fought an injured Haye, which has to have a bearing. in most cases that fight would have been stopped then a rematch arranged, but Tony is trying to get "full" credit for the win. He deserves massive credit for staying in there and taking a few, but not for beating a live uninjured Haye.

    Bellew is the nicest guy in boxing, he wouldn't big himself up deliberately. I just seen him helping a old lady cross the road.

    Haye is just plain aggressive, whereas Bellew is a passive aggressive... they both helped sell the fight, with people wanting to see at least one of them knocked out.

    You've got it back to front mate. Bellew is the only bully out the two. Haye was never aggressive bar this fight and banging chisora who wanted it, In build ups... Haye never sought to bully anyone its quite obviously Bellews territory..look at him with cleverley, way over the top..After giving him a torrid last few rounds Bellew wouldn't shake hands after in the ring. Maintaining that bull**** " I stand by what I said".... just tries to hard to be on the level

    Bellew to this day refuses to say Clev's name and calls him "the Welsh fella". How bitter is that? What did Clev even do wrong apart from win a contentious decision?

    I think bellew knows how to sell a fight plus gets carried away with himself at times. I think its faux hate tbf. Cleverly must be sitting in the house wondering what he done wrong. Lol. Same with the initial haye hate. Because he goes to niteclubs from time to time...it was like he was the local pervert.
