Comments Thread For: Tony Bellew: I'll Keep Fighting Until The Screw Detaches Itself

Outside of Heavyweight ( at the moment). Name a weight class where the Brit is the best and better then Americans?

super middleweight....

I think he's got the reasons why Joshua and Wilder are bad fights all wrong. Yes, they both hit hard, but so does Haye. The real difference between them and Haye is height and reach. Against Haye, because he's a similar height he was able to make Haye miss and still be in range to hit him back hard. Wilder and Joshua would be able to reach in easier to hit him, plus their chins are further off the ground meaning Bellew has to be closer to get a shot in. And Tyson Fury is not only taller and longer than both, he's also arguably got better footwork than either. If anything it's a much, much worse fight for Bellew. Sure, Fury might not hit as hard as AJ or Wilder but he can still **** at times, especially if he's able to tee off on Bellew with impunity.

If he wants to carry on, his best bet is at cruiser. If he carries on at HW, he needs to pick his fights carefully. In fact, here's a suggestion I've not seen yet: how about Povetkin? Bellew is 6'3, Povetkin is 6'2. That might be something to keep Sasha satisfied if he can't get his mandatory shot at Joshua.

He's rightly discounted fighting Wilder:

and to be honest he has no business in the ring with Fury either. The only way he wins is if he catches Fury rusty.

Ok, Super middleweight (go look at the ring top 10) , Groves is number 1 and there are four Brits in the top 10. On boxrec Brits are 1,3,4 and 6. I think you lost that one ;-)

super middleweight....

Super middle

Well I guess people get credit for holding titles hostage in the UK...

[Gentblue]

Look

You won’t get it

Any American that comes to the uk would struggle immensely and would rely on lucky To Survive

The passion, the desire and the levels the uk evolves its fighter is almost like a marvel super movie

You are seeing Americans reject 2-4 times their biggest pay days as they are scared to taste defeat by the uk

The UK is very overrated and average..Y’all think money and popularity equals talent. America is supreme.

And reject what exactly???
Ward is retired and Wilder is trying but lyin Hearn is holding thing up...

[Removed Now]

Ward is like most Americans boxers

Someone with no heart and is afraid of a fair ref and to fight in the uk
America is finished in boxing
You all are like blockbuster whilst the uk has become Netflix
Keep yapping tho

You sound crazy as hell. The best Boxer in 154lb is American, 147, American, 140 previously Crawford - American, 126 also American. All your best fighters besides calazge were beaten by black Americans. Joshua will fall like hatton, Lewis, froch, Khan, brook, Groves, degale and many others. I am not going to include Irish fighters but you get the deal. It goes USA , then Mexico, then the UK (as a whole), Russia, then PR (they fell off big time).

Oliver McCall took his 0. Hasim Rahman exposed him. Both Americans.

That's it. Honestly. But a American bum beat Degale :0

[Redgloveman]

Bellew's already got a screw loose if he thinks he can beat Ward.

My opinion is that he doesn't really believe it, but he knows Ward doesn't possess the kind of power that would do lasting damage to his health. He'll take the money and get outclassed. Unfortunately I see nothing in it for Ward.

Bellew has beaten an inured fighter twice. If we're being honest, he's never been particularly good. He's a very average fighter who has been well managed
