How Would Tony Bellew vs Oleksandr Usyk go?

[ArtemV]

Or how about the other top cruiserweights? Dorticos? Gassiev? Briedis? Kudryashov?

Edit: I think Usyk takes Bellew out fairly easily, under 8 rounds. Although Usyk isn't much of a power puncher.

I think (hope) Gassiev beats Usyk though. He is the champion cruiserweight needs!

Usyk would box circles around Bellew, it wouldn't even be close. Usyk vs. Gassiev would be a much closer fight. I tip Usyk to take a hard fought decision. He could beat Dorticos and would box him up. He already beat Breidis and I don't see any change in the results. I think he also beat Kudryashov fairly readily, Kudrayashov I don't think could cope with the movement. His only chance would be if Usyk engaged him in a brawl, which would be stupid given the russians power.

I think Bellew would have a tougher time against all these opponents and I think he'd get stopped by Gassiev. The rest he might just about scrape by.

Bellew would probably get embarrassed...

I actually think Bellew should fight Fury. He would lose. But it’d be a big fight/payday for him

 

[KillerIsBack V2]

Wait.. what is going on here.. did these 2 haye matches make people think bellew is better than what we knew him beforehand? he fought a guy with irreversible damage to his his feet that should be retired.
Bellew wouldnt do well against the top LHWs, CW, nor HW. even a couple of SMWs active now would destroy him.

 

[JayE]

Poorly.

 

[PUO3]

Usyk would work him.

 

[Roljo]

Easy win for Usyk, i actually see quite a few of cruiserweight being able to beat Bellew

 

[DeJulez]

Usyk would mail him to pieces.
Bellew wouldn't win a round

 

[Jonny Ninja]

Usyk And gassiev definately beat him fairly easily. He gives everyone else a fight and beats most of them imo. Are people forgetting that bellew was wbc CW champ until not long ago. Hes a better fighter than some are giving him credit for

That's the fight to make for both of them. Big pay day for both. And a good name for the guys on come back trail that's under sized and doesn't pose a ko risk.

Which active SMWs would you pick to "destroy" him? I think thats a bit hyperbolic

 

[Hagler]

Bellew needs a crude opponent willing to engage. Usyk would box his ears off. For starters.

Ramirez, he's already taller and has longer reach than him, is more skilled than him, and not afraid of banging inside.
would only need 1 warm up fight after moving up, and I can easily see him beating Tony.

I disagree with you. Ramirez has shown nothing special to me.
Do we still consider Ward a SMW after the 2 Kovelov fights? I'd pick him to beat Tony for sure, but he's not an "active" SMW I guess.
The rest of the division is British boxer's who Tony would spank.

 

[Goatenstein]

Usyk, Gassiev, Breidis, and Dorticos all make a Shepherd's Pie out of Bellew.

It doesnt take a special fighter to beat tony... He’s just not good enough.. only reason he would beat the people u mention only for a large size advantage. Ramerez is not special, but he’d easily beat Tony.

Only reason this retarded thread title exists cause TS is basing his opinion purely on the 2 Haye fights which is misleading af cause of alot of these casuals think thats the same Haye that KO’d chisora or went the distance against wlad. False and Entirely my point.

You just seem to dislike Bellew I think.
Not a single person in the UK (where Bellew's only fans are it seems, everyone else hates him), believe that he beat a prime Haye. He has definitely improved over the years, as evidenced by the fact he is WBC emeritus champ. A thread comparing him to the current WBC champ is a fair topic in my opinion

Set the fight up, Bellew earned this L
