Dillian Whyte v Tony Bellew

[p4pking]

Define big money? The fight would do big money, not Haye money, but then nobody in Britain can do Haye money.

It wont happen though as Bellew can't do his loony act with Whyte. If he dives in his face at a press conference Whyte will literally kill him. Last week Whyte was chasing Bryant Jennings around at the weigh-in (because Jennings said in a youtube vid Whyte can't fuck with him) and said he's pissed off with Hearn cause he wants his next fight sorted asap.

I don't know if Whyte is quite that scary? I guess in the street things are a lot different, and it's weird that Jennings hasn't fought since Ortiz. I thought he was actually pretty good, I'm not sure Whyte should rightfully be a favorite over him, that's a pick em unless there is some big change in form from one I would say. Now I think Haye looked bad and the injury clearly lost him the fight and all, but Bellew was surprisingly competitive even before all that, and I'm still not sure Whyte would have done any better a job with everything considered. Whyte vs Bellew could also be a lot more competitive than anyone would predict, no?

I like jennings, he talks well outside of the ring and seems willing to take on anyone, his last 5 fights have been against some really good opposition( I think szpilka is good :S).. Him v whyte would be a good matchup and could go either way but I don't think that was the point here.. Bellew likes to talk bollocks and annoy people, whyte seems to be a bit like chisora and unstable outside of the ring so bellew might get broken in the pre fight nonsense if he comes up against someone like this :S but of course maybe he will be smarter and be more reserved in the build up... you saw how well being scary and unpredictable in the build up did for chisora v vitali and haye :S

The last sentence is exactly the point, boxing has never been a matter of who is more willing to make a case of how unstable they are beforehand. Top level fighters don't let that kind of stuff make it relevant to who wins in the ring, whether they have a penchant for it or not. Maybe Haye was that well past it, or the injury was everything, but it wasn't cut and dry as he didn't do what most anyone expected. I wouldn't give Bellew much chance against any of the very top HW's with real KO power, but I don't know if Whyte is one of those guys. It could be a good match up for both.
