I'm still waiting for the baconmaker to stop ducking spider-pig... I'd like to see if he can turn him into bacon. #QUITDUCKINGSPIDER-PIG
I missed that I heard him praising him from transition to pro but it came across to me like he generally thought he was levels above Usyk in the paid ranks lol. No doubt Bellew seems to have some power at cruiser weight though?
You answered your own question, Bellew knows he'll get KO'd by not only Usyk, but by Briedis, Lebedev, Huck, Glowacki, Drozd, Dorticos, Durodola, Gassiev and maybe even Diablo. So if you're gonna get KTFO one way or another, do it the Khan way.
Ummmmm.... He could fight Haye at a 210 CW for a mil on PPV...... AND, even in defeat, still make his fight with Breidis to defend his title, OR....... He could fight Usyk for 200K, get beat and lose his title and bargaining power. Best route for Bellew to go is Haye Breidis Unification with Gassiev Ledbedev winner. And yeah, Bellew is A side in the division so Gassiev/Ledbedev winner would take him over Usyk.
Ummm.... He's got a pretty rock solid resume. He's not the best CW in the world, but even being a top 5 means he's elite, and he's definitely the biggest draw making him the man to come to in the division. So....sure he talks too much, and sure he's looking for a payday vs Haye, but he's definitely earned it.
Bellew is gross. Him and Haye deserve one another. Let carnival barker Hearn steal from the rabid nationalistic Brits and over pay these two clowns in his circus. Who wants to be or fight the best anymore when you can get a slick promoter to steal from casuals and line your pockets.
Lomos the one who's gonna have 2 losses in the near future.. let alone Mayweather 0 type.. He won the title in his 9th pro fight or something if you count WSB..
