I'll bet there are at least 20 Cruiserweights worldwide that would not only beat Bellew, but put him to sleep! so why does he deserve a shot in his back yard. Basically, he's a 3 fight novice at this weight, and on Saturday , he never beat a cruiserweight (by his own admission) . He never came up to this weight after mopping up the weight below, he came up after getting KTFO by "A MIDGET!"
He (and every other fucker) should earn their shot by beating people ranked above them.
Call me old fashioned, but I think to be called a "WORLD CHAMPION", you should at least be in the top 6 in the world. is that too much to ask?
I agree with you save the 20 that could beat him. That division is a freakin wasteland. Sad enough in fact that him and Huck are most likely the biggest money fight in the division just based on that Cleverly win. Either in Germany or London. And lets get real, he's not going to turn down a shot that as you say he does not deserve because its in Germany. The man could pull in 7 figures for going there.

Secondly, magical ranking placements have been happening since the Wba split up and the Wbc was formed. Nothing new about his rankings. Rankings are purchased just as much as they are granted by achievements. Look at Wider or Chavez Jr.
