Comments Thread For: Bellew: I'm Chasing Greatness, Usyk Fight is Looking Likely Now

[Ray*]

Usyk would school him, i remember watching him fight joe joyce in world series of boxing and he barely got touched. Dont think the weight would matter, same outcome everytime. I do admire bellews ambition to fight him though fair play.

Usyk would school him but Joe Joyce? Seriously anyone with a good boxing brain can “School” that mummy.

Mummy or not he will probably have a more successfull heavyweight career than bellew.

Bellew was the belts and to be undisputed champion and also lineal champion. There's more at steak at crusier for him than a heavyweight fight with usyk. With a win he can talk him self up there with the English greats (I assume). If he wins he had a better career than froch. He should get his revenge against Adonis.

Bellew barely beat anyone of note. What are his biggest wins? Cleverly? Chilemba? BJ Flores? A past it Haye? He beat nothing but Euro level fighters, just look at his resume. Beat one American in Flores and got KOd by Stevenson. Won a vacant title and that's it. But I guess by UK standards he's considered a legend.

I remember a significant amount of posters here saying that Bellew wouldn't dare face Usyk...

Welp, he didn't at heavyweights. The HUGE payday in GB for all belts + legacy is what pushes him to CW fight.

agree with the statement. But a tough task

This should be a cruiserweight fight with all the belts on the line. It won't pay better for either guy at heavy anyway. Cruiser gives usyk even more advantages though, as he is bigger and better conditioned than Bellew at the weight.

usyk was a better level amateur and a better level pro than Bellew was, or has been, and I just can't see Bellew beating him. However, it's still a fight that he has to win in the ring, Bellew has a big left hook and I admire his wanting this fight.

Someone please knock out pudding **** bellew. He is unbearable to listen to.

If Bellew beat Usk that would set him on a path to greatness.

Whether he actually gets there is a different question altogether.

Man, I am not defending him. It's just how it appears. Name a fighter in this decade with an A plus Rèsumè . I bet we can poke holes in most people's resume.
