Don’t know why he’s getting so much hate. For someone who’s perpetually labeled as mediocre and generally the underdog, he’s been exceptionally successful in his career. Outside the ring he wears his heart on his sleeve and that vulnerability is refreshing, and in the ring he has got a massive heart. People are just too negative, why waste your time spewing vitriol online? That’s a shame

What may happen is that he'll miss boxing and join Sky Sports Boxing Punditry team.

I actually think big Tone makes an excellent pundit. Make no mistake, his over-dramatic delivery is without a shadow of a doubt perfect for being behind the mic. Tony and Paulie make a pretty good duo. And best of all he can get home safe to his wife and kids, without worrying about getting knocked spaahk out.

Because most of the "fans" on here are pricks who have achieved nothing in life and are jealous of those that have. I wish him well, he's entertained me down the years and I'll miss him.

The 'hate' was more for Bellew being a constant di-k in the past - always starting shti at pressers and stuff then playing the victim card. He's not as bad as he used to be but he talks himself up as much as Khan does, and it's way more than his (and Khan's) talents merit, tbh. I still tip my hat to him for what he's achieved and who he's dared to fight.

I enjoyed watching Bellew get knocked out but I agree with this comment. He is a better pundit than the rest of those shills at Sky Sports put together excluding Paulie.

Bellew was the only one to call it as it is in the Brook vs Spence fight. Completely spoke his mind (not off the Sky Sports/Matchroom script) and said Kell Brook quit live on air and the man stayed true to his words when interviewed about it. Insisted that Brook had quit. Even called for him to retire saying when you've quit once you'll quit again because mentally you have one foot out of the sport already.

The man has a lot of heart so for that I'll give him his credit and never once shyed away from engaging in the pocket which is pleasing for the casuals.

Very average record against very average opponents. Never did give Cleverly his decider which he fully deserved considering Cleverly gave him the opportunity for a rematch after he lost.

Claim to fame is beating a broken Haye twice. I still laugh at Haye whenever I see him in interviews.

Good luck to him.
Wish him the best.

6 months later - "I have that itch - I want boxing back"

He will miss the limelight. I give it less than a year he is in the celebrity jungle or on the Sky Sports team with Froch and Haye

I gotta give the guy credit. He was not an elite fighter, but he made the right moves late in his career and made some elite paydays.
