Re: Haye - Bellew - Predictions
While I like and will root for Briggs, I don't rate him very highly, but also can't see how Bellew would beat him. Fact is Briggs has a chin and he's a big man, Bellew as a HW is ridiculous imo, he wouldn't beat anyone. In fact I don't think there's a boxer on earth that could go from getting smashed around by Stevenson, having two wars with Cleverly, and not be fodder for Briggs or any other durable HW with a punch.
Re: Haye - Bellew - Predictions
The build-up & press conferences will be more interesting than the fight.
Unless Haye has deteriorated significantly, then it's a mismatch.
It won't go beyond three & I would be surprised if it went that long.

It's hard to say I know, but do you think Bellew beats Briggs?
It is not hard to say at all. Briggs batters Bellew, what is wrong with you?

It's hard to say because they are both flawed and so anything could happen . What's the worst thing ? Briggs being old, or Bellew being Shit and not a HW?
my point to @Silkeyjoe was if he feels Briggs would beat Bellew as I assume he might feel, then why is Bellew/Haye a better fight than Briggs/Haye.
anyway, I was asking Silks, so mind your own fuckin business! ;);D
Re: Haye - Bellew - Predictions
I think Bellew beats Briggs now. Hes so bad now. Survive a round or 2 and he gets tired and the power isnt there any more. I may be wrong.
There is so many crap fights at heavy. Bellew moving up just adds more to the pile of shite there :D

Bellew ain't big enough or good enough.
Re: Haye - Bellew - Predictions
I think Haye will blast him within 3 rounds.
Re: Haye - Bellew - Predictions
Haye will fuck his world up. Haye has already said it's a dangerous fight for Bellew to his team, Hearn etc....and I think it really is.

Haye will seriously knock Bellews head off, it is a total mismatch.
Re: Haye - Bellew - Predictions
Tony Bellew believes David Haye will "quit" if their grudge fight becomes too demanding at The O2 on March 4.
The Merseysider is preparing for his eagerly-awaited domestic clash with Haye, live on Sky Sports Box Office, and has questioned the desire of his 36-year-old opponent.
Haye made his comeback after a lengthy injury lay-off this year, but Bellew has suggested the former two-weight world champion does not have the same mental toughness and plans to push him to breaking point.
"What I will tell you is, if this fight goes past four rounds, he's going to quit," said the current WBC cruiserweight champion.
"At some stage, it will get too hard and he will quit. He hasn't got the fight in him anymore.
"I love fighting. I am not 100 per cent in the head, I enjoy having a fight. We will see on March 4, where it happens, when it happens, but I must stress when I knock out David Haye on March 4 - I am then the best heavyweight in the world outside of them champions.
"Just let that sink in and think about where do I go from there."
Bellew does concede that Haye is the "most dangerous" heavyweight in the world, although he expects to emerge the winner from either a gruelling battle, or a four round firefight.
"He's the best heavyweight in the world outside of the champions," said Bellew. "There is no debating that whatsoever.
"He's possibly the most dangerous heavyweight in the world, including the champions. What does he do very well? He has got a massive right hand. His technique's not the best but his fantastic athleticism allows him to make up for that.
"If I can drag him to the second half of the fight and to the deep waters, I will drown him, I will win easy, but I don't think it will get that far.
"I do believe this fight could be a four-round shootout and I am under no illusions if he catches me clean in the first four rounds I am going to have to get off the floor to win, but make no mistake he's going to have to do the same thing.
"The big difference between me and him, he hasn't got it in him to get off the floor."
Bellew: Haye could quit
