I can imagine Bellew defeating Pulev, Chisora, H. Fury, even Parker, but never Joshua, Wilder, Klitschko or Ortiz.
Simply, his chin is too weak for HW elite level....

Id favour all those guys over Bellew...he's not a serious contender and he fluked into the win after dropping 4 of the first 5.
He also didnt show much power at the weight, and couldnt visibly hurt Haye even when the latter was just taking shots against the ropes. Wilder would be fine...

Bellew loses every one of those fights and they're not even close.

Wilder would fold Bellew like a piano. Period.

WOW! He's willing to face a Cruiserweight who's not a Top 10 ranked Heavyweight who is coming off a bit of a flukish win over an injured David Haye? I'm shocked!!!!

That Wilder and his team are keen on a fight with Bellew is no surprise, I reckon it could make him his biggest paycheque yet; it's a world title fight and would fill a stadium over here. The WBC would probably also approve it as they are both their champions...

Yes ! You are right ! Very lucrative fight, without any risk.

Wilder is far from great, but would destroy Bellew!

Bellew was rated the No. 2 heavyweight on BoxRec after he beat Haye, but he was moved back to cruiserweight which I cannot understand because his last fight was at heavyweight.

If Bellew does not agree to dive Wilder's protectors/choreographers have contacted Joe Smith as a possible replacement

Beating Haye at this point certainly shouldn't have gotten him a #2 ranking. Haye wasn't in my Top 15.

Maybe an effort to hide the faulty ranking system, most apparent in dealing with weight class jumps.

That's exactly what many heavyweight boxers do, smash fat dwarfs for the boxrec ranking.
