Comments Thread For: Tony Bellew Wants a Crack at Joseph Parker - If He Beats Fury

[Butt stuff]

"Some of the fighters Coldwell ruled out are Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury - because they are far too big. But Parker is very similar in size to Bellew."

How exactly is looking for a winnable fight daring to be great?

Because he's a very limited fighter, and despite that he's moved up over 25lbs, picking up a world title along the way and beating a genuine heavy contender/former world champ. And let's be honest, Bellew is no Roy Jones, so this is a huge thing!

Parker is a bum, the bomber will spark him out. Easy work.

I gave him no chance against haye and look what happened there. He would have a decent chance against parker. I loved that comment earlier about bellew already having a better HW resume than wilder. Aint that the truth.

You don't think Parker and Joshua's power is comparable ?

Nope. Joshua clearly has much more power.

For now and at 34 (?) Bellew fought 1 top light heavyweight (losing by TKO), 0 top cruiserweight, and 0 top heavyweight

Bellew was a zombie at LHW, so that loss doesn't really count. Makabu was/is a top CW and Bellew chinned him, i remember all the fools on here picking him to KO Bellew as well. Nobody wanted anything to do with Makabu, then Bellew moved up and stopped one of the most feared men in boxing, a man who Anthony Joshua wanted nothing to do with.

Tony, what a man.

Bellew "daring to be great" would include fighting Joshua, Wilder, Ortiz or another heavyweight in the top 5. Not looking for the only guy with a belt that looks beatable

Bellew has a better HW resume than BumSquad, as well as being the higher P4P fighter.

Deal with it.

Funny how he's targeting Parker and not Wilder.

He knows Wilder would literally kill him.

Deal with that

Probably his best route if he wants to try win a title at HW.
Although the WBA could be an option soon.

I think Parker beats both H.Fury and Bellew however.

Wilder won't fight a live opponent like Bellew. He'll have yet another defense against some random Polish nobody, the Wilder way.

If Bellew wants a crack at winning a HW title, this would be the best route for sure. Whether he could win it or not is another matter completely. I think it might be a stretch too far but i don't blame him for wanting a crack at it if he gets the opportunity.

But who knows. Those writing him off and dismissing his Haye performance are the ones who said he'd get smashed in a round off Haye and he was still in there being competitive even when Haye hadn't injured himself.

He was a 3x national champion as a heavyweight in the amateurs. He's definitely a better fighter above 175, he was a zombie there.

I wouldn't give him a huge chance at winning, but i wouldn't say he has no chance either.

You believe that fight was competitive before the injury ?
