The bit about not being weight drained

You know when stupid people are lying because they always contradict it at some point.

It is amazing how unathletic Bellew looks at weigh-in:

He looks like all he was doing preparing to the fight is gaining fat.

Bellend doesn't look great here. Clev has got really broad shoulders, I'm surprised he hasn't stopped more.

And Quigg and the Jap look anorexic

The Tit that is Tony Bellew.

this sort of thing sums up why if Bellew was boxing in my garden I'd draw the blinds. He might be more talented than I've taken him to be, I don't know - I doubt it. He puts me off watching him tbh. For me, if you're so good you don't need to be that rude and obnoxious. Lol @ that bit of conference before his fight with Stevenson. If there were only those two in the room and Bellew tried that stunt he'd never have made it out. And as for Kovalev just a puncher, he's a puncher I'd expect to deal with Bellew quite quickly - more quickly than Stevenson did in fact.

Tony Bellew adopts a villainous WWE heel-like persona, simply because it sells fights and puts cheeks on seats. When he’s being interviewed outside the context of his own fights, he comes across as a really likeable guy.

Don’t become gullible and buy into the hype and the absurd behaviour that we often witness when fighters promote their bouts.

I'm sure he's a lovely fella when it suits him. Lenny McClean was a lovely bloke. But he wasn't lovely to everybody all of the time.
If Bellew acts like a moron, regularly, that doesn't make me gullible for "buying into his act", I just don't like aggressive morons. But I see where you're coming from
Perhaps hot-head would be more suitable. He lacks a certain style, a way of doing things if you ask me - and his mouth is undoubtable far louder than his talents are great, which doesn't help at all.

As for this grudge match of all grudge matches garbage. Just get out of town. Benn and Eubank was a grudge match, Moore and Macklin was a coming together of two seriously hard men - yet I don't remember any of this horse-sh*t. And all four of those guys were better than the vocal Mr Bellew.

The next good fighter Bellew beats will be the first.
