    If Bellew loses, wouldn`t it be a good idea for the two to rematch heavyweight, as a direct way of showing people the difference between Usyk fighting at and at heavy?

    Interesting....they would have to agree on the weight minimum. CW max is 200 pounds, right? Make the second fight weight minimum 215 to make it interesting.

    Bellew insisted on cruiser, Usyk wanted it at heavy.

    Bellew wants a shot at the undisputed titles.

    Bellew is going for the titles. He knows his chances are bigger at HW but he wants those belts. Usyk will school him anyway, especially after draining Bellew to ****. Bellew is stupid to fight Usyk at CW but it's understandable...

    Since when was Bellew a big heavy. He will make cruiser with no problem at all.

    I do not give Bellew any credit for fighting Usyk.

    1. Bellew hasn't fought anyone of notice in CW since Makabu. Flores is a HW, old and shot and was drained to hell. Bellew is more a part time boxer right now and getting damn shot at FOUR ****ing titles although he didn't do anything of notice for about TWO years.
    2. Bellew is fighting at home.
    3. You can only look better than Gassiev who lost every single round of the fight.
    4. Nobody gives him a chance after that masterclass performance by Usyk and he is the clear underdog so he only can win anyway as everybody expecting another dominant performance by Usyk.
    5. It's a HUUUUUUUGE payday for Bellew who will probably retire afterwards.

    Don't get me wrong, i can understand he is fighting Usyk and it's probably the best possible scenario for Bellew but if he would have some balls he would fight a real HW as he acted like he is an established HW out there but let's face the reality...Bellew is a clown and he knows he would get screwed at HW so he has to use this as the last big payday.

    He isn't but still has to lose 15 pounds or more and he isn't that young anymore and hasn't fougt at Cruiser for about two years.

    Usyk might be slower carrying more sweight, Holy was slower when he became a bigger heavyweight.

    It would prove a more difficult challenge for Usyk than at CW but at end of the day I see it being the same result - UD win for Usyk.
