Parker and Wilder are a level below Anthony Joshua.

I'd agree with what you say.I'd like I said earlier if he's after the biggest paydays then it's the heavyweight division there isn't any big names in the cruiserweights to offset the dangerous fighters.

Wilder has a lot of technical flaws as a boxer but he could potentially do serious damage to Bellew. He hits extremely hard with those wild swings of his. Joshua is a no no fight as well obviously due to his shear size and power. I know Haye can also bang but he was closer to Bellew in size and words been around for a long time that Haye's shot and falling to bits making the fight lower risk than it would have been in Haye's prime but still a very high reward £££. Sure, another fight at heavyweight would be more than enough to secure Bellews families future but there's also a chance he could get seriously hurt. Wilder's already nearly killed someone in the ring ffs. I shudder to think what the shot Wilder hospitalized Artur Szpilka with would do to a natural light heavy/cruiserweight. I know Bellew has a decent chin but I remember when he couldn't handle the power of ko artist Adonis Stevenson when they fought at light heavyweight so anybody who thinks Bellew can take full shots from Wilder is living in cloud cuckoo land.Last edited by Brussel Patepy; 08-03-2017 at 06:25 AM.

The 4 names you mention.I doubt he'll fight them as you say very dangerous fights for him plus none are household names so the risk reward is lesser.personally I think we'll get the Haye rematch or he'll fight at heavyweight.
Further down you mention Stevenson and your right he destroyed him (that's why I thought he had no chance against haye)I think he has proven he can fight to a game plan and avoid being hit neither parker or Wilder are the most skilful of boxers.plus money and the chance to win a heavyweight title is a huge incentive.

He would be better fighting another heavyweight because Usyk schools him in a bad way

Haye looked shot to bits even before the injury. The physical attributes that made him what he was were completely gone. Bellew took advantage of that with a game plan and boxed well. It will be much harder to pull that off against Parker and especially Wilder who is very athletic and certainly not shot like Haye was, plus he's also much bigger. Wilder boxed poorly in his last fight and usually always does but he seems to always find the KO and it's usually brutal. I think his wildness, awkward punching angles and poor technique all around has its advantages as it makes his offence unpredictable. I also don't think Bellew has the strengh or power to fight big natural heavyweights in their physical prime's. If they don't respect his power, and he can't keep away from them, then he's taking a beating in my opinion.
I will add I think Bellew's a better boxer than both Wilder and Parker and probably better than anybody they have fought. Wilder has a padded record, his best win is Bermane Stiverne which is embarrassing for a champion who's defended his title 9 times. It's just the size difference I have issues with really. If Bellew does fight one of them I hope he proves me wrong and retires a very wealthy man.
