If a footballer acted like that he would be fined by fa for bringing the game into ddisrepute. Carry on and eventually he would face a ban of some kind.

Yes but footballers don't have to sell tickets or generate public interest for their matches.

And in boxing when someone hits the deck they really have been hit!

Boxers have generated interest for over a hundred years without acting like nobheads. if the boxing organizations allow him to get away with this it will spiral out of control

Sorry, wrong Bellew.

what about muhammed Ali some argue the greatest fighter ever ill dispute that but he was known for running his mouth off constantly it sells fights and its entertaining just as Conor McGregor and the Diaz brothers in the UFC its part of the game they hate each other before the fight but after its over they hug shake hands its what they do.

Yes but in modern times its the mouthy ones who generate the most attention amongst the general public which equates to higher ticket and ppv sales.

It's one of the reasons why Mayweather made so much money and why Audley Harrison did well financially without accomplishing a huge amount (given his incredible potential)

it sells though that's the thing its what people want to see like Mike Tyson for me the best heavyweight ever an absolute animal it was his unpredictable ways that people wanted to see as well as his ferocious power like the Jack Dempsey of old.

No ones ever 'taken a dive' in boxing history have they....

Bellew is a dick but it sells to the football crowd (boxing casuals) Eddie Hearn has built matchroom on. Bellew has power but lacks defensive fundamentals and you can guarantee he wouldn't take a fight against Usyk or Drozd.

"he's one hell of a boxer and i think he states the truth. he just has lots of self confidence"

not a chance david haye would just jab the light off him... they knock him out...

i would be almost like death by a thousand cuts...

but for bellew.. haye is the biggest paycheck out there for him..... and whilst haye is looking at heavyweight, that fight ain't happening....

especially with furys WBA and WBO belts becoming vaccant, i could see haye manovering into one of those title fights.....

he could probably get Usyk to fight "at home" in liverpool... the other person is denis lebedev... but you know bellew would have to go to russia for that fight....

He wouldnt take the fight though, he'd get destroyed by Usyk and it wouldn't earn much money. I think he personally wants to retire and just wants that cash out fight with Haye and doesn't mind being knocked out for the 2/3 million he'd probably get for it. He knows he won't be able to unify at CW

Haye for me is a joker does he really believe he could take on AJ he would have trouble against Klitchko who is on the downward side of his career Haye is not a natural heavyweight and never will be. The heavyweight division is very poor right now no one stands out right now apart from AJ.

Aside from AJ (the obvious standout) Luis Ortiz is a hot prospect, Deontay Wilder has been showing some maturity/improvement and there's Tyson Fury if he gets his personal issues under control.

The antics at the end were pure emotion, he's very much what you see is what you get but he's a top pro, I know that as fact.

Next fight he wants Haye but needs to work on his defence first, on last nights showing he'd get picked off.

Needs to bin fucking z cars too, can't stand that bluenose shite

do you really think Tyson fury would last with the 3 you mentioned? Realistically he is outclassed by all of them you have to have a bit of flair about you fury got lucky against Klitchko and knew he would lose the rematch.

It's all about promoting his next fight and getting more interest in it. It's got people talking about it which means the fight will be worth more money.

Actually I do rate fury quite highly. He's got a great jab, Decent hand and foot speed for a big guy and an amazing boxing intellect he knows how to read a fight and is very unpredictable. Plus he's Proven he can stick to a game plan and is a proven 12 round fighter.

The Fury who beat Klitchko I'd pick to beat Wilder and Ortiz and be very competitive against AJ

AJ has zero head movement or footwork its just 1,2 1,2 and we are yet to see if he has elite power (knocking out bums means nothing). Fury is awkward and would lean on AJ a lot tiring him and I think most would agree that its very believable AJ would.have a very poor gas tank due to the muscle hes carrying, also punching up is very different to eye level. Ortiz looks very good (toss up with fury )but isnt much younger than Wlad, Eddies done a good thing for AJ sign him up get him paid for a few years, then feed him to AJ when he's declining. Wilder is getting a lot better over this last year but again fury leans him and beats him down the stretch. Obviously I'm talking about a mentally stable fury here.
