this, why not break Nelsons record first, it would be perfunctory, and establish 2Slyk as a HoF even before he moves up. He only needs....8 fights in quick succession. I cannot see him losing (unless he proves not to have longevity mindset like tyson) Some of them can include opponents who qualify as CW and HW. Then he moves up as a HoFer!
Tbf mate, not aiming this at you, but that's what most people are saying about Bellew, that hes a con man cripple beater who openly admits wanting a rusty Fury instead of prime...Its not something I like to hear if i'm honest, not really a good look. Why as a warrior, would he not want to pit himself in a fight at a weight he holds a belt at against a top level opponent that's just called him out...I would totally blame him and laugh my **** off if he swerved him
Usyk will beat Bellew 1000%. Bellew has nothing to hurt Usyk at all. Bellew isn't punching harder than Gassiev. In General Bellews power is overrated. Look at the first Haye fight, he wasn't able to stop a guy who was fighting on one foot. The second fight was a quit job by an old man who was shot to pieces. Bellew is sooo ****ing overrated, i can't believe that ****. He stopped a retired old man who is shot to pieces and had probably every single injury you can have twice and this should make him a contender in the HWD? My gosh. Bellew is an average boxer no matter which division he is fighting. Usyk would make Haye quit within 2-3 rounds probably. Usyk won't lose a single round vs Belllew. Bellew is all talk and making money, he isn't a real boxer anymore, he fought twice in the last two years and both times a crippled old man who was semi retired. Only for a BIG payday. I do not blame him for that as he has a family and money talks, so why not doing this? It's ok but stay realistic, Usyk is two or three classes above him. Everyone who thinks Bellew has the slightest chance to beat Usyk DKSAB OR is a biased brit who hypes their own fighter for nothing at all.
Usyk has earned the joke fight against Bellew to earn himself some easy cash. After that though I hope he takes it seriously at heavyweight. Really excited to see what he can do there..
Come on now mate, the most important thing is that he gets home safe and sound to his family, and drops his son off to school the next day. And that's a fact.
Remind me which division Bellew has fought at in his last two fight. Bellew is not coming down. He is the A-side and has the bigger network and bigger promotor behind him. Usyk will be the one making concessions.
I think Bellew would take the fight, he's only scared of the big punchers. Usyk can clown him, in fact Bellew already knows that would happen, but it's a decent payday and he won't get hurt.
Yeah, of course, but then he should not act and behave like an ELITE boxer who is Top P4P or something. He is an arrogant brat.
"A-Side" ...ha ha I'd love to see the "B-side" 'cos Usyk is no "B-side" he is "Class side"...in anyones book!
in England as well! Usyk is an old skool elite skilled warrior. People been talking about Loma becoming one of the greatest ever, well USyk has just as much a chance. 2 unreal talents.
I understand what you're saying, maybe I didnt fully explain myself. Hearn and a Bellew want a big money fight, Firy or possibly Ward, it's all about the money, Hearn has made that quite clear and as great as Usyk is he is not a big name with casual boxing fans who Hearn freely admits he is targeting. I don't think it's a big money fight but a huge risk, I believe Usyk would be a huge favourite for that and I just don't think Bellew would want to go out like that. I don't believe AJ or Wilder would want to fight Usyk, he is a handful, it's not about fear or anything like that, it's just very high risk and low reward.
