Yeah but I like arguing;D
He does seem to think he is gods gift to knockouts though and a bad loss will take that confidence away and could make him gunshy.

I agree Cleverly is clearly the favourite. He is the most likely winner. However, he is not a puncher and likes a tear-up. If Bellew isn't dead making weight he is definitely the hardest puncher, and probably most dangerous fighter, Cleverly has faced. And he truly believes he can KO him.
Bellew's knockdowns have all been early. And a bit weird. Twice he's gone down really heavy but looks fine seconds after restarting the fight. That certainly doesn't bode well for his rushed prep mind...
How big of a puncher can hebe with only 10 ko's against 15 journeymen? Thats not a record that screams julian jackson, Mike Tyson or George Foreman. Also, regarding the knockdowns, as well as his punch resistance being worrying its how easy he is to catch with those shots.
Warren is basically ruining him as a fighter.
What the fuck are you going on about now? Warren is ruining him? He is not putting him in against a prime fucking Roy Jones he is fighting a guy who looks good but has fought no one near world class, Tony is 28 this is the right time to sink or swim, he is fighting another young guy who has looked great so far but we don't no how good he is I think he will be too much for Tony especially at this short notice but this a great fight.
Tony wants this fight not Warren he told Frank as soon as the German pulled out he wanted the shot.
Bellew thinks he has the beating of Cleverly but going on his recent fights, I dont think so and ot many others do either. When he takes a beating as is brought back down to earth with a bang he will be mentally ruined. At 28 its a bit late in the day to have to start from scratch again. Its taken him long enough to get to this point, which was going to be a rematch with a british level journey man...
Yes thats totally unheard of an unbeaton prospect talking and wanting the number 1 in his division saying he knows he will beat him :rolleyes:.
Are we taking about the same guy here Nathan Cleverly? The lad who has never fought a world class fighter and was fighting for the British title just over 18 months ago? I think your getting a bit carried away here pal, Cleverly aint Floyd Mayweather these two are only about three four fights apart in there progress experience, this is the right time for Tony only negative is the short notice.

It can do but really only when the fighters are evenly matched and push each other like Morales and Barrera, Gatti v Ward and even Eubank and Benn. Loads of others but those come quickest to mind.
I think Bellew is a year or a few fights away from dealing with skill or stamina and he is going to have to drop some weight. I dont see it as very even.

I still think this match up at such late notice is too good to be true.
Bellew steps in and gets credit, Warren gets his ppv back on track, then we find out at the very last
notice that Bellew can't quite make the weight..
I bloody knew it!!!
