I admit I was wrong about Bellew

      I think he was still carrying effects from the last injury but even if his legs had been 100% I doubt he'd have won. He just didn't have the reflexes to get out of the way of Bellew's punches and had no other form of defense.

        As for Haye, very sad seeing such a great fighter being done over like that.

        Bellew deserves as much credit as Cotto did for beating Martinez

          I bet Bellew woke up this morning unable to believe his luck. Bashing up an injured, shot to shît Haye for millions, not once but twice. Not to take anything away from Bellew, he did what he needed to but let’s not pretend that version of Haye was any good. Body broken, reflexes gone, speed gone, power gone.

            He can't beat AJ or wilder and I would include fury in that too. I think Gassiev is too strong and powerful for him too, but I give him a real chance against Usyk. The way Breidis pushed him close makes me believe that Bellew can beat him.

              I don’t know about Bellew v AJ, how much skill has AJ got?!

                Bellew has a terrific jab to work off of so he could keep Usyk off balance and away from his combinations but in the end I think Usyk is just too good. I actually think Gassiev offers Bellew a better chance.
