Comments Thread For: Ricky Hatton Gives His Take on Tyson Fury vs. Tony Bellew

Can't knock the hustle. Go get the money Bellew! As a great admirer of bullshtitters, I really ought to respect Big Tone more for his verbal ''skills''. You won't be laughing when he talks his way in to the HoF.

I'm interested in this fight if it's right after Fury's August 18th fight.... that way it MIGHT be competitive? probably not though, Fury is looking in good shape already and will have another 5 weeks training and another fight under his belt.

Hate was past Prime but he has said Belle w would have been tough even if he was prime haye. Belle w v fury will happen as there's beef and bad blood now that's all you need to make fight. Fury is past Prime like hay e until proven otherwise

Boxing is a business at the upper levels so good luck to all the fighters that maximize their earnings, I would never waste my time watching these casual fights but people do. BTW agree that Bellew really knows his stuff and is a great commentator!

When a guy like Bellew can make millions of dollar in boxing, then you know there is something seriously wrong with the business in general... and in Britain in particular. Let's be fair...he did last a few rounds before being knocked out by a 175 lb pimp

Meh.......

All British brawl is OK but vs the rest like Hatton vs Floyd or PAC no way!

Bellew hasn't had a credible win since he won the WBC Cruiser belt of that Makubu, and then he did a bolt from the far better fighters in that division. His wins against a TOTALLY finished Haye mean absolutely nothing to me. Funnily enough, Bellew makes quite a good co-commentator but he'll still yap his way into fights that he doesn't really deserve. It's fcked up.

Bellew said he woudn't fight Wilder because of his reach, so why would he even consider Tyson Fury? Bellew will get slapped all over the place if this fight happens! You said it yourself, he gets slapped. It's not wilder's reach but his punch that Bellew is steering clear of. He's looking for high reward, low risk paydays to finish off his career. Fury would be a big stadium fight with Ppv revenue and he's not a massive puncher either. Get him now before he's shaken all the ring rust and he has a chance, at least enough to sell the fight.

Bellew's best opportunity is now if he ever has one Agreed, with Fury’s ring rust and still being very overweight, I think he can make The Gypsy King gas out just before the championship rounds ..... then go in for the kill.

Fury and Bellew had a real beef going at one time, but it ended a while ago and they are friends now. This new "beef" they have now is fake, for publicity only, imo. If they fight each other it will be a money grab for both. Fury will see it as a chance to get some rounds in and will be happy to use his reach and size to jab Bellew silly at long range then smother him up close. Fury gets his rounds in and another win, this time on points. Bellew loses nothing really, because no-one would expect him to be able to beat a man as big as Fury, and they both get a good payday. true. Guys care less about their record once they have an L on it. Bellew has 2, one being a KO so he really doesn't have anything to lose on his record at least.
