Turnt into a bomber thread!

I believe bellew could be effective up at cruiser & it would be intresting to see how the speed of the smaller guys have improved him because even as a heavy he wasn't renowned for his speed.

14-4 is very high for him imo, like he said 13-7 would be very natural because he could build up then strip down. His power would also get nullified by these small heavies strengths similar to him losing power boiling down to 12-7 I suppose.
I think there are some great domestic scraps for him at cruiser which easily lead him on to international level at that weight,if he needed to rebuild.
His next fight is a tough one & if it goes to points you can't see him getting nish of the Canadians but if he turns out a respectfull performance other top fighters will want to test themselfs v tony before getting in with Adonis as fighters seem petrified of losing there O.so I think aslong as he has a close contest he will do fine.

Bomber has bigged Adonis up greater then anyone. I'm not sure if he's done this because he fancies it & want the accolades for winning??
Chad Dawson is a great fighter but if I'm being truthfull & not taking anything from Adonis,Dawson you could say is damaged goods.bit like when rjj dropped back down his sell by date was up , her main Taylor another great fighter got done by pavlik & was damaged goods.
I don't think Adonis is such the monster a powerfull hitter yes

Agree with most of what you say, especially Adonis, for me he is a dangerous and highly quick puncher with decent footwork, I'm not saying he's at all special or a P4P fighter. His main attribute is that punch he has IMO.. He's a huge puncher but also vulnerable himself.. As for the cruiser talk, I'm way off that for now.. I have everything riding on the next one.. I mean everything.. :TU:

I think Bomber can actually beat Adonis Stevenson, and I am not saying because he posts on here, I am saying it because I think Bomber is a very smart fighter who can box to orders like he did against Edison Miranda and Roberto Bolonti especially after the cut he suffered. But he does have that habit of his heart and emotions get in the way of things which is where he can make things quite difficult for himself see the first fight with Ovil McKenzie where he let himself get dragged into a fire fight and got dropped twice but hauled himself back into it.

As for him being at Cruiserweight. I would not rule it out but he will have a weight in his mind where he knows will still have that balance of power, and stamina etc when he chooses to do so.
