Tony Bellew may not have elite level skill or talent, but he has heart, character, and a will of iron. He was outclassed by a great opponent but gave everybody who paid to watch this fight their money's worth and more.
Boxing needs men like Bellew. He will be missed.
Simple as that.

Edit > that was for tatabayna
Oh, right - I forgot the utter devastation of the legendary BJ Flores, that definitely increases the all-time standing of Bellew

I do agree with you on everything else. The point of my remarks is just to emphasize how aggrandizing the article's headline is. Tony Bellew was definitely as respectable as every serious fighter there is, and he has been willing to mix it up against superior foes.
But a world class fighter he ain't, and has never been. He has FOUGHT against world class fighters, but has not reached that level.
Neither elite, nor world class then. Call him an overachiever, only at times entertaining.Last edited by Tatabanya; 11-12-2018, 06:45 AM.

Originally posted by Kezzer View PostI never really liked Bellew myself but for sure he did take chances and over achieved. Naturally he wasn’t a super talent but he had all the determination in the world, not did similar to Carl Froch albeit Froch was a lower weight and his Chin made the difference. You can’t have a chin that takes some shots he does, and lets face it if David Haye had been as fit as we expected he would’ve walked through him too.
But don’t dis credit the man, there is no shame is giving someone a send off who has put his career into entertaining our sport and it will be interesting to see how many ppv’s They achieved but would think close to half a mil?
I give Bellew mad props. I'll take these Warriors like him and Kovalov willing to get KTFO over QUITTERS like Rig. (Which hand I hurt???) and I quit Walters any and EVERY day.
Salute!

It was probably one of his first fights outside his home and it was in that ****ing shed goodison, the atmosphere probably got to him.
It was the first chance of something being won at goodison since 95 so the fans were rabid.
I think on paper his best win is maternak but i think anywere other than a hearn undercard he wouldnt have got the nod.
