Bellew as an entry fight to the UK audience ... yep im good with that, more confident I would be if he was fighting a fit Haye 1st up over there.
Even Whyte/Chisora might be tough after what they showed workrate wise and heart in their battle (which I hope is re-matched although doubt Whyte see's anything in it for him as he was very fortunate to get the W)
Bellew fight would make JP big ££ so why not?? makes good business, plently time on Jp side to fight other champs - make $$ on the way there.
JP v Bellew Goodison Pk = 90,000 people world HW title fight Eddie H would have a field day promoting that
Goodison park is nowhere near 90,000 capacity and parker still has zero name in the uk and bellew couldnt sell that much tickets on his own. The fight wont happen anyway.
They would sell out Goodison ( I don't have the capacity figures). Bellew after beating Haye- up in his home city for a WHW title fight sells out. Makes ££ sense
I think there's a good chance Fury will either be completely south paw, or switch to south paw in the fight to put JP off. He's done it before.
Could work too. JP didn't look good against Bergman.
With that ko record AJ nearly becomes invincible to his UK fanbase. That invincibility will leap out of site if he can score a Ko over Wlad. The guy that upsets him will become a national hero overnight.
AJ has a touch of the early klitschko about him to me.
That is, think hes going to get knocked out before we see the best of him. In going over some tapes he does have some worrying habits that haven't been cleaned up.
AJ will be invincible when he beats Klit, Tyson Fury, Parker, Ortiz, and Wilder. Until then, he's good at beating up on inferior opposition. BTW, Wilder has almost as good a KO record as AJ, who also beats up on inferior opposition. 100% to 97%. Wilder's only non KO was against Stiverne, who is a decent fighter. And we're worried about Bellew being inferior?
Yep AJ does look like a young Wlad in many ways. Tall, muscular, big power, robotic, predicable, dodgy chin. Wlad's stamina is very good, AJ's I'm not too sure about.

He looked troubled by that punch, and it wasn't a full blooded hook. Post that fight, Whyte has shown that he isn't the heaviest hitter, going the distance with Allen and Chisora.
I wouldn't say it's dodgy, I'd say more like untested.
