I don't get why he is so loathed, seriously. Ok he puts on a snooze fest now and then, but the hate is well disproportionate.
I've read loads of comments about how over confident he is like it would be a good thing for a boxer to enter the ring with no self belief.
I wish him the best and hope he does the business.
I don't loathe any boxer but Bellew's probably at the top of my disliked list
The way he behaved in the build up to his bout with Clev went above and beyond hyping a fight in my opinion. He made it overly personal and came across as a bit of a bully in a way he didn't dare to do with for example Stevenson. His recent comments about Haye were also pretty tawdry and disrespectful for a man who, lets face it, is about European level at best. He comes across as having a real chip on his shoulder, jealous of others' success.
That said, friends of mine who've encountered him in gyms say he's a nice down to earth fella. I suppose we've all got different sides to our character.
It seems we share similar views on scousers at least
