Usyk calling out Bellew and would go up to HW!

Just like David Haye was going to?

Usyk wins, no doubt about that but don’t write Bellew off. I’d expect a 12 round clinic from Usyk but not getting the stoppage. I also expect Bellew to put up a better fight than Gassiev did tonight (not that he’s a better fighter).

 

Haye was a cripple at that stage, the proof was in the pudding, he couldn't walk or throw a shot without needing rehab...Usyk would beat the living shite out of Bellew and force a stoppage IF he needed/wanted. You have maybe the best h2h cruiser ever against an absolute con job now

 

I don’t think Bellew would win but I think Usyk lacks the power to stop him.

 

I would agree if Bellew really wanted to go 12, but I think he'll get pulled out once it's all one-way traffic. Bellew cares about his health and doesn't want to take too much punishment, sure he can go twelve if he's willing to fight 6 rounds in survival mode but the corner will stop it.

 

I seen Gassiev a man that would shite out Bellew nearly succumb to the constant punching of Usyk...I have no doubt that Usyk could over whelm Bellew for a tko

 

You realise he makes more money against Bellew than any other fighter on the planet exc AJ?

Hence why he called him out, Usyk feels £££.

 

Bellew won't want any of that..

And I don't blame him whatsoever, who would want to fight Usyk?



I don't think AJ, Wilder or any of the other top heavyweights will want to fight him, Usyk will have to force his way to a title shot, he will have to be mandatory.

 

The money will be there for Bellew v Usyk, but Haye was the cash cow v Bellew, Antoinette is on record thanking Haye for securing his kids future, I don't see it being better money or even close to his payday v Haye.

 

Bellew would want to stay at HW - he feels comfortable there. He has less weight to lose. He is 'established' there. For Usyk it would be different, he would have to gain weight, do extra strength and conditioning work, bulk up and so on.

 

ITV genuinely thought they'd signed a hard hitting all action Mayweather when they signed CEJ so it shows what they know about boxing.

 

There are levels to this though. Bellew could out weigh usyk by 25 pounds and I'd still easily go with the feel man.

 

Yup, Usyk has several levels on Bellew.

 

Usyk vs Wilder is the fight, no reason to give up the Undisputed Cruiser championship. Wilder will fight at Cruiser, Usyk will more than likely be the bigger man in the ring too

 

Bellew's reaction when offered the Usyk fight.

My opinion also. But I was putting in diplomatically.

I don't know how a fight in which Bellew was expected to lose would sell in the UK. But Usyk is surely the A side anywhere outside of Liverpool and Bellew could pick up a nice percentage of a decent pie, knowing that a loss to this particular fighter at this stage of his career does no harm to his own legacy. Just thinking that it might be a possibility that Bellew would go for it.
