I can see this being similar to Haye vs. Maccarinelli a few years ago - Haye by early KO (perhaps 3 or 4) would be my prediction.

Yes, those two have done a great deal for the reputation of boxing.............not! All that posturing and insults - pathetic. Well, PPV will be getting naff all from me for this nasty little offering, that's a stone cold cert!

Looking forward to this. They both have plenty to say for themselves so the build up will be very entertaining.

If Haye has retained any of the ability he had before his long layoff then he should win this. The problem is the calibre of his opponents he has faced since his comeback have been so pathetic we don't really know how good he is right now. Could his age and inactivity come back to haunt him? I can see him underestimating Bellew as well due to his never having fought at heavyweight.

All in all plenty of tangibles which make for an interesting fight.

Bellew is such a thick scouse bell end, he couldn't even get his insults right after he beat that Polish painter and decorator last time (sponge bob square pants when he meant sideshow bob).

I'd rather put my cock in a blender than pay to watch that shite. You will see better scraps outside your local Yates wine lodge.

This fight is all that's wrong with British Heavyweight boxing. Couple of ****** glad it's not on terrestial tv and they don't get the "exposure" that decent honest professionals deserve.

Can't understand why you would have an issue with Haye or Bellew as professionals. Both have held world titles. Haye cleaned up the cruiserweight division and was a heavyweight world champion. Bellew is the current holder of the WBC world cruiserweight title.

You might not like them as individuals but that is a different matter.

I guess I come from a different age. Tbh I'm not enamoured by many of today's boxers. I'm of the belief that the talking happens in the ring.

Is that wrong?

Talking sells fights, always had done or certainly as far as I remember. Muhammed Ali for example?

I think a lot of it is tongue in cheek to be honest, I have listened to Bellew talk and he seems like an alright bloke. Would you not do the WWF style stuff if you knew it was going to build the fight and earn you a shed load of cash?

I accept that media exposure is partially what sells fights. Of course Muhammed Ali "talked" but he was unique.

Most of today's boxers are talkers but not doers.
