Haye murders him at heavyweight. Bellew is an average fighter who's done pretty well in a dire division. His mouth has earned him a payday but it's just another Haye Chisora for me. Win/win for me. I think they're both absolute gobshites who need putting in their place.
Haye has already lost his credibility here by refusing this fight at cruiser weight. Haye is a cruiser weight, he's never been a top fighter at heavyweight, he took his title off a big numb troll and got it snatched off him as soon as he went toe to toe with a decent heavyweight. Bellew can take a beating and has a huge psychological edge here in my opinion as Haye is going into the fight off the back of fighting two absolute wasters. My gut instinct is Haye will pull out through injury before the fight.
I think it would be pretty hard for Haye to get back down to cruiserweight these days. he did bulk up a hell of a lot to be a heavyweight, and once on it is bloody hard to get off once you pass 30..
Nightmare for me mate..I have to work like hell and go on a strict eating regime to lose weight these days..
Haye is way too big for cruiserweight now. I saw him walking down carnaby street two years ago and he looked like he'd struggle to for through most doorways... Sideways. His chest is ****ing ridiculous. Anyhow... No **** moves down to fight. Especially for a clown like bellew. I think Haye is right. Bellew is stuck on the set of that ****e Rocky film.
I think Bellew's boxing credibility is better than Haye's right now, Haye has been prancing about and eating Kangaroo cock. I won't be at all surprised, let alone shocked if Haye gets put to sleep by the scouser.
Bellews been average his entire career. He's won a title which is good. He's still bang average though. Haye was a better cruiserweight at both of their bests. Haye then did a bit of magic at heavyweight. I don't think Haye is what he was. But I still think he's better than bang average. I reckon Joshua would beat them both at once. Pair of gobshite clowns.
I reckon Bellew is much better than you give him credit for, he's a tough nut. Hard to beat now, he's come on a lot in the past couple of years.
Average at best mate. Three fights ago he was a nobody. What's he done since? A bit... Not a lot. Great fighters move through the weights. Not bog standard run of the mill temporary champions like bellew.
Nobody has to be a great fighter to put David Haye to sleep. Make no mistake mate, Haye needs this more than Bellew. The guy is a ****ing joke act, fighting on obscure channels against amateurs cos no ****er will take him seriously.
If Haye hangs around and gets back into the swing of it he'll be fighting the likes of Joshua, Wilder and Fury... Maybe klitchko. If Bellew stays at cruiserweight... There's **** all for him to do. He could try unify a poor division. Something Haye managed years ago. Bellew's done nothing compared to Haye and I don't even rate Haye that highly.
If Haye is anywhere near his best this will be over in 3 rounds. Remember Haye went up from cruiser weight because he was head and shoulders above everyone else. He then beat a lot of bum heavyweights and took klitschko (at his best) all the way. It was not the same Klitschko Furry fought. It just depends if Haye is 100%, if he is this will be over quickly. I say this but I am a massive Bellew fan, I think he is a great character and I hope the fight does go further than a few rounds. He has made what is currently quite a boring division more interesting.
I couldnt agree more mate and I couldnt have put that any better myself so ive nicked what youve said to try win an argument on facebook lol. Hope u dont mind.
Mostly what Disco has said and not Tel. Horrid fight saying that, 'media managed beef'. Anyone paying for this unless the undercard is stacked with quality is mad.
Loved boxing a few years back, was more interested in it than football until Eddie Hearn and Sky ruined it bigging up average boxers and turning it into a a soap drama, all this ***** about calling people out at press conferences etc just to get your name in the press is a pi$$ take. You should only get a fight through your boxing ability and ranking, not through slagging people off in the press. Dillan Whyte would be an absolute nobody without slagging off Anthony Joshua every 2 minutes, same with Chisora slagging Haye off back in the day and Bellew and Cleverley calling each other like 5 year olds just to boost ratings. Win your bouts, get up the rankings and then become mandatory, it's a joke!
As for this fight in question, Haye within 8 rounds and I wouldn't watch it even if it wasn't on box office!
