    What's your definition of big puncher?

    Mine is that they stiffen your legs when you catch one of their punches clean, they usually have a high KO percentage and stoppages against normally durable opponents.

    Bellew is an underrated boxer but who's he actually outboxed? Nathan Cleverly? A guy who neglected his boxing skills years ago and favours his wild, open style with his paper fists.

    I'm not in here to discredit and cuss Bellew but get realistic. The guy has ceilings he's only a few inches away from, entertaining fighter but he's not going all the way.

    It seems Bellew gets a lot of praise and approval from his loss to Cleverly. Yet again, it's not how good Bellew is, it's about how bad Clevelry is.

      Cleverly and Bellew should just fight each other for the rest of their careers.

      Neither of them are top level

        Whilst I give Bellew a punchers chance, I'd expect Campillo to decision him rather comfortably 9 times out of 10 (assuming it was fair judging)
        Pointless bringing up the Murat fights, anybody that seen those knows Campillo should of got the nod.

        Bellew has only fought one southpaw (I believe, too my knowledge) & that was Bob Ajisafe, a guy who is as feather fisted as you like and had him on the deck & gave him absolute fits.

        As for Uzelkov, they was both prospects at the time & I think he is underrated and I believe it is a good fight. He also starched Simcic, had Shumenov down & gave him a lot of problems and arguable beat Guchneckt so he isn't exactly a mug.

          Ajisafe, to his credit, is a very tricky and avoided opponent. Bellew believed in his own power and became frustrated when Ajisafe wouldn't just crumble.

          Really needs to find the perfect mix of boxing skills with brawler. Several times he should've let his hands go on Miranda but decided not to. Think he opened up once in 9 rounds.
