Comments Thread For: Bellew: No Doubt About It - I Would Put Tyson Fury To Sleep!

[W1LL]

It's official. Tony Bellew is looking to cash out.

[Scopedog]

It would be big in the UK. Mouthy scouser fights mouthy traveller? Both can sell a fight. Plenty will tune in just to see one or the other get battered.

As for the split, I think Bellew would have a strong case, he's the one with a record of successful PPV fights. Beating him convincingly puts fury back up there.

Still won't happen.

I do suppose Bellew's the one with Hearn, and you do have a point about the successful PPVs and the fact that people will definitely tune in, but Fury's still a big name, undefeated, is arguably better known amongst non-boxing fans. I don't see him accepting any less than 50% of the purse. Is it better for Bellew to take a relatively small portion of a big purse fight where he's guaranteed to get humiliated and / or battered by a much bigger guy, or to take a bigger portion of a lower-purse fight that he has a realistic chance to win? Maybe you don't agree with me on this but if I were Bellew I'd go with the latter option. That said, I'm well aware that the first option is what people thought of the David Haye fight first time around.

Two guys keeping themselves in he headlines talking **** about a fight that will never happen.

Fury is too big for Bellew. Bellew is too dangerous to risk an AJ fight on. Two promoters who don't work together. It won't happen.

Bellew isn't a dangerous opponent. I doubt he would land a clean punch on Tysons face all night.

It's all comparative. He's far more dangerous than Seferi. I don't expect Fury to face a real threat prior to stepping in the ring against AJ.

Depends where you think Bellews ambitions lie. I think he's realistic about his age and ability and is looking for one final pay day before he calls it a day.

The fighters mentioned aren't likely to beat him up badly, Fury isn't a big hitter, he's already got a family so Ward can't stop him procreating.

Fury would be by far the most lucrative opponent in the UK market at least. I think they've looked at the figures and it could be really big.

If I was Fury, I'd knock out this CW, then target someone like Wach, then a contender, maybe the winner of Whyte-Pulev. That should get him his title shot.

Bellew would just get brutally beaten up. Look what Fury did to Chisora, a similar kind of fighter to Bellew, and who happens to be a legit HW. Bellew should forget about the giants and go for Ward or Usyk.

[LacedUp]

It would absolutely blow my mind if Bellew could beat Fury.

I don’t see any possible route for him in that fight at all.

[5000boxing]

Fury would beat bellow.. bellow better chill before this fight gets made.. then he will have to back up that talk.. he said wilder was too big.. imagine fury..

[lefthooklead]

Fury could come in at 27 stone and beat Bellew. If I was Fury I'd bite his hand off and make this fight. Good money, low risk, big exposure and pretty easy.

Bellew genuinely thinks he has amazing power because he stopped and old and crippled Haye. He might last a few rounds, but whenever Fury decides to turn it up he will stop him easily.

[Kilrain]

He's pursuing the worst possible option for himself. Not only is it a physical mismatch it's debatable that he's even as big a draw, surely he'd be taking home the small portion of the money. He should be looking at cruiser or other small heavyweights. I've said before that I think he should consider fighting Povetkin and I still believe that'd be a good fight for him, both in terms of money and matchup.

True but he's deluded, he'd probably expect the lion's share, that's how far from reality he lives.

This would be child's play for Tyson – too big, too sharp, too mobile for Tony Bellew.

The Bomber really is overestimating his ability at this point, either that or he's just chasing another big payday and hoping Fury is rusty as all hell to give himself a better chance. He knows, and is already on record as saying that he has no hope of beating the same Fury who dethroned Wlad.

I'd make him a huge underdog to beat a Fury who's even 70% of the guy we saw in Germany in November 2015.
