Haye v Bellew
Posted: 15 Oct 2016, 17:52
Looks like this fight is gonna happen given the amount of casual money that will be lapped up. Does anyone think Bellew has a chance? What weight do we reckon Bellew will come in at?

If he wants the cash so bad then he should move up.Horse wrote:It'd have to be a catchweight, surely?
It's the best option if it's going to happen, surely bellew doesn't believe he can move upto heavy weight or think that he is such a big draw that haye would bother boiling down at 36 years of age to fight at cruiser against him when all the money is at heavy weight.Horse wrote:It'd have to be a catchweight, surely?

What weight do you reckon then? 210 lbs? 215 lbs?Finn wrote:It's the best option if it's going to happen, surely bellew doesn't believe he can move upto heavy weight or think that he is such a big draw that haye would bother boiling down at 36 years of age to fight at cruiser against him when all the money is at heavy weight.
I don't think it'd make Bellew look bad, as long as he didn't try to demand anything daft as the catchweight.Ricky_ wrote:why? it would make Bellew look ridiculous....

I don't see why it couldn't just be at Heavyweight. Haye's not a huge Heavyweight or nothing anyhow.Horse wrote:It'd have to be a catchweight, surely?
Bellew would probably be less of an overwhelming underdog at a catchweight, so it would help to legitimise the fight a bit more.gilgamesh wrote:I don't see why it couldn't just be at Heavyweight. Haye's not a huge Heavyweight or nothing anyhow.

If Bellew wants him just fight the man at Heavyweight and Bellew might can come in at 210 or 215 himself. Size won't be an issue in my opinion. The skills will determine the winner. Nobody has a size advantage here significant enough that it's gonna be the determining factor in the fight.Horse wrote:Bellew would probably be less of an overwhelming underdog at a catchweight, so it would help to legitimise the fight a bit more.gilgamesh wrote:I don't see why it couldn't just be at Heavyweight.

Go to the boozer, it wont last long and no commentary will be needed. It's hardly going to be up there with the detailed analysis of a Frampton- Santa Cruz fight.rossij8 wrote:Will you pay though?

Damn right. It'll be a fantastic event.rossij8 wrote:Will you pay though? I probably willkeithmoonhangover wrote:It'll be a one or two round blowout, but I'll watch it. I really don't like Bomber and will happily see him lose.
Haye is the bigger man, so weight will be a factor.gilgamesh wrote:If Bellew wants him just fight the man at Heavyweight and Bellew might can come in at 210 or 215 himself.
