You'd have a point if Bellew wasn't crap.

No defence, no real skills, can punch abit but isn't a concussive puncher, not a great chin. All the above and he's a fat blown up crusierweight let alone a heavyweigjt. David Haye is 225 lbs ripped.

David Haye might not be a killer but he will brutalize Bellew. First clean punch from Haye and he's in massive trouble. Bellew has no ability to "avoid Haye early" or "tie him up". Haye will light him up instantly

This is the same guy who literally ran all fight from Stevenson didbn't engage at all and the first time he got tagged hit the deck and was shortly after stopped.

I guess it all comes down if Bellew is better than Audley

Bellew is bigger in dimension.

welp...

by dimensions I mean things like reach and height, dummy.

double welp..

I could be mistaken but i think Haye is taller and has longer reach.

Or same height. Both 6'3?

Not sure on reach but sure Haye's is longer

Sky have them both at 6"3, and somehow Bellew is the only person in the world to have a 6 inch reach disadvantage thats somehow longer.

Also i learned today that waist is no longer a dimension but is a measurement of mass

I'd pick Audley over Bellew if I'm honest.

Close fight though.

Im going from the weigh-in, maybe Bellew had shoes on while Haye didnt but he looked taller/longer.

Haye has 6 inches on him in reach.

Both listed as 6'3 but I would say Haye is taller.

I would say Haye is natrually a lot larger. No way could he ever make 175 like Bellew did for years.

Bellew really isnt a 200 lb fighter to be honest, he's blown up at Crusier. His frame and size really should be about 185 lbs but obviously there isn't a weight class between 175 and 200.

Haye at 200 was boliding down to.make weight. His frame is a solid 220 ripped.

Bellew allegedly consulted Audley on how he lasted the first two rounds.

16 stone 9 isnt 224lbs

16 stone 9 isnt 224lbs

Haye didn't weigh 16.9

He weighed 16 stone and 9 oz I.E 224 lbs

Im not trying to win an argument with you but (to me) Bellew looked taller at the weigh in and after looking back at their head to head where Haye punches him, i'm convinced im right on this. Not that it matters.

David Haye has been wearing minimalist shoes, i think he does all of these little things to mislead his opponents! minimalist shoes are those barefoot trainers designed to strengthen your Achilles...

Tony Bellew may be taller, but i have read in Haye's book that sometimes he would wear certain footwear to make his opponents feel bigger than him! he did it up against Valuev, to put even more emphasis on the David vs Goliath theme....
