Who's next for Bellew then?

Someone with a decent ranking in all the bodies, at the moment his ranking aint all that.

This bloke could be ideal - Roberto Bolonti

7 with WBC/ 10 with WBA/ 12 with IBF.

 

Those rankings aren't up to date.

 

Roy Jones

 

Who you guys want???

 

Well you need to look at some different things. First of all Hearn has said he wants Tony to have a World title fight next year. But at the moment he is not ranked in the top15 with any organisation, although we expect that to change after the Miranda win which was also for the WBC inter something.

People will think that the European is the logical next step, but it's tied up right now with Gutkenekt fighting Braehmer in December. Murat is No.1 and is fighting Cloud for the IBF this year, so Bellew who is No.2 will be the mandatory next year.

I think we all agree he is beyond anybody else at British level so he should vacate that. What Hearn and Bellew wan't to do is get him higher in the ABC rankings while solidifying his European ranking.

Any of the guys in bold would work and I don't think would cost a fortune to get over to the UK to fight him. So Bellew can defend his international title agaisnt any of these guys until purse bids are called for the Gutknetkt vs Braehmer winner.

Of the guys listed I would favour.

Issac Chilemba - Top 10 with The Ring, Top 15 with all governing bodies. Just beat Miranda via 10 round UD. A step up from Miranda.

Andrzej Fonfara - Can be sold as "The man who retired Glen Johnson". Will improve Tony's european ranking. A step up. Top 15 with WBC & WBO.

Cornelius White - Top 10 with everyone. American. Holds the IBF International.

 

Tavoris Cloud would be nice.

 

do you know, i don't think ive ever seen a single good post from you, not one.

every last one of them is either totally useless, or taking the ****

Every.last.one

 

Cornelius White would be a brutal war.

 

Tell me how you really feel.

What was wrong with suggesting Tavoris Cloud?

 

Dont get into him with it. Hes a moron.

 

I'm a moron.

 

And who are you exactly?

Steeltown, what's wrong with suggesting Cloud?

Whats right with it mate?

not going to happen.

useless suggestion.

Ideas that are out there but are possible imo Roy Jones and Danny Green

Both names, both faded.

Decent oppertunities.

 

Campillo would be a good fight, Although a very risky and dangerous fight to make on a few months notice.

Fonfara would be another good fight coming off the win over Johnson he has name value and definitely a winnable fight.

 

Suggesting Cloud was pointless.
