Re: Next for Bellew ?
Bellew did everything he promised. Many predicted a disaster for him last night but apart from taking one good right hand he came through spectacularly.
He's always said he would avoid Joshua or Wilder for obvious reasons, so which big money fight is there out there for him? He himself fancies Andre Ward, but that'd be tough to make.
Even tougher to make is the better 'cashing out' option against Fury who still seems paralysed after getting that win over Klitschko. Once you achieve a 'miracle' and get to the summit the only way is down, but if he could get Fury, he should jump at the option. I can't see him losing that, but I also can't see it happening.
Other than taking a highly paid but extremely dangerous beating from Wilder or hoping that AJ might go easy with only dishing out a points defeat there is little out there for Tony but accepting this as a great point to retire. His mind seems perfectly suited to enter the world of punditry.
Perhaps a job with Sky?

Re: Next for Bellew ?
Fury would be the best move for him I think.
It would surely be big money, they're both massive sh*t talkers so they'd be able to sell it for sure. Plus with Fury's inactivity I figure he'll be in no rush to face any of the truly Dangerous Heavyweights so it honestly makes a lot of sense for both of them
Fury's been inactive so MAYBE Bellew would have a slight chance, but I doubt it.
At any rate there's no real point in him fighting a lesser fringe contender type because if anything that would only result him in getting beaten (probably by KO) for a sh*t load less money than he'd make against Fury.
Fury while he's very big has never been overly dangerous so I think Bellew could at least get out of the bout without receiving all that much damage even though I wouldn't be surprised at all if Fury stopped him.
Other Heavyweights would be a good bit more dangeorus than Fury, and far less lucrative. .

People said Haye would bulldoze him too. I picked Bellew in both fights and people called me an idiot for it. I dunno if he'd beat Povetkin but the guy is underrated.oogiebe wrote: ↑06 May 2018, 11:16I think Pedvetkin would bulldoze him.jujigatame wrote: ↑06 May 2018, 11:13 I think Povetkin would be a good fight, but really he should go back to CW which is a much more natural weight class for him.
Re: Next for Bellew ?
who would win haye vs povetkin now
Re: Next for Bellew ?
I picked Bellew in the rematch definitely. I just figured that by this time the injuries would have added up enough on Haye that he'd be vulnerable to be beaten again.jujigatame wrote: ↑06 May 2018, 15:36People said Haye would bulldoze him too.

I expected he'd probably perform better, but I was wrong on that even. Happily wrong might I add, but wrong nonetheless.
Re: Next for Bellew ?
Yeah perhaps. I know that's a common opinion so I won't hold it against you

Chisora might be good for the pre-fight antics

His Mrs stops him from fighting again, he loses the Sky commentary gig for talking too much bollocks (even for Sky Sports) and eventually opens a pie franchise called Tony's Tuckerbox. Unfortunately he consumes too much of his own product and becomes morbidly obese and house bound. Is not heard of for years until he falls ill, and the tv news shows ambulance staff using a crane to get him out of his second story bedroom.
