Tony Bellew vs The Top Cruiserweights?

[TheCell8]

Really? I would have thought Drozd would be one of the toughest to beat at the weight. He seems to do everything pretty well. His chin isn't as bad as people make it out to be

I think Bellew-Glowacki is competitive. Glowacki isn't hard to hit. Same with Huck. But I don't see Bellew beating Lebedev. That guy has an unreal chin and is really underrated. We all thought he'd lose to Makabu, but he won, in style. Even when knocked down, he took it well. Didn't wobble or buckle much, got straight back up.

I think everyone is underestimating Glowacki. He rallied and beat up Huck in a back and forth fight. He dominated Steve Cunningham, who is a wily veteran that was boxing skills. He's not just some lucky guy. He's dominating good fighters. He's not an easy fight for anyone.

He's a lot better suited to CW than he was LHW but I don't see him beating any of the top guys.
He might beat a faded Huck and a few good fringe contenders but no chance vs Usyk, Drozd, Lebedev etc

Makabu is good offensively but he was stopped in 1 before and has a God awful defense. Every fighter that South African guy seems to train has horrific tendencies of dropping their opposing hands, a shame as a lot are young enough to have such horrible habits drilled out of them but personally I think that guy is easily among the worst trainers I've ever witnessed.

I'd give him a chance against any Cruiserweight other than Lebedev, Lebedev is just too "complete" for Bellew to exploit anything, although he's have a sizeable height advantage but he wouldn't be able to make use of it.

Bellew is the top cruiserweight boy.

The guy beat Creed handily.

I'm not saying it was the best Ilunga Makubu

Bellew is definitely much better at Cruiserweight.

I've seen him a few times in person and can't even understand how he made 175 without being completely weak, he's a really big guy. I'm about 6'1", he was taller than me anyway but his frame was pretty huge. He really had no business at 175.

I think he can compete at Cruiserweight. I don't think he beats them all but i think he can win some and lose some against other top fighters. He'll be competitive. He was actually a very good amateur Heavyweight, which makes it even more ridiculous that he was fighting at 175.

I actually thought he was a bit younger than 33.

He will end up losing to Breidis that dude punches very very hard and his chin is tested too. Everyone else is a toss up as he did display some serious power tonight... but then again who did Makabu actually face in his 18KOs?

He was the underdog vs M'Chunu after he embarrassed Chambers dropping down from heavyweight.
