Let’s not get carried away with Bellew’s career.

Before people like Tris Dixon or the clowns at Sky try and spin the narrative that Bellew was some british great. Let’s be realistic. He wasn’t. He wasn’t an elite level fighter and was in fact not even close to that level. I mean who did he beat? Do people really consider a injury riddled, shot Haye to be some sort of credible win? Is winning a vacant word title against an opponent completely unproven at that level and defending it against BJ Flores really that impressive? If we are brutally honest the best win of Bellew’s career is Isaac Chilemba... I think the most damning evidence on Bellew’s career is this: When facing reigning world champions Bellew is 0-3(with 2 knockout losses) He was 2-3 in word title fights and 3-3 against current/former champions. Compare that to one of his peers/rivals like Nathan Cleverly who went 1-0 against reigning champions, 6-2 in world title fights and went 2-3 against current/former champions. Cleverly is by no means considered a british great and he achieved more than Bellew did in his career. Credit to Bellew for making a lot of money in boxing due to his excellent ability to sell a fight, but his ability in the ring was far from excellent and his resume proves that.
