Boxer eyeing Goodison fight-night

And if Goodison under the lights happens, I'll find the pay-per-view. That'll be cool to see.

I'll watch this space.

Venues like the Echo Arena are perfect. I saw Carl Froch beat Lucien Bute at the Capital FM Arena in Notts and I've never experienced an atmosphere like it. I have seen Bellew fight twice (at the Capital FM Arena a few weeks ago, and in Newcastle on Amir Khan undercard a few years ago). He's a very disciplined fighter and one of the best in the country. He definitely deserves his shot, and I'll be there to support him when he does. I just hope when it comes around it's in the arena. Sorry.

I wonder... do Bellew supporters have a call that sounds like Boruuuuuuuu?

Seems it would work.

David Price, despite being a red is the class act in the city. Hope he does well.

I would like you to elaborate a little more though on how you come to the conclusion that Pricey is "the class act in the city"? Have you watched our kid or Pricey at any considerable length to make this judgement or is this a case of just in your honest opinion?

Just for the record, nothing would make me feel more proud than to watch my lil bro waltz out on to the turf of GP with Z-Cars ringing out, with a chance of bringing home a world title to add to the British, Commonwealth & three (back to back) ABA titles he won, which may I add is a record still in the long and illustrious history of the ABA.

Anyone and I mean anyone who has the balls to get in a boxing ring at that level deserves the utmost respect, the training regime is bordering on murder and the commitment puts every other sport in the shade.

You then get in a ring with someone who's only aim is to smash your face in, I tried boxing as a teenager and believe me despite them gloves it fucking hurts like hell when you get hit.

Tell Tony to bring it home for all the Evertonians.

Steven #683 I disagree that he is far from world title quality. In fact, given that Nathan Cleverly is a current 175lb world title holder, and Bellew pushed him right to the wire (and probably did enough to win/draw the fight in many neutral observers opinions) he has proven that he is certainly not 'far from' world champion quality. Actually looking at how those two have progressed since that fight, I'm convinced if the two fought again Bellew would win convincingly. Which of the other world champions at 175lb do you think would beat Bellew? As for the chat, I follow him on twitter and he comes across as a good bloke to me. Guess if his tweeting annoys anyone they just could unfollow? Just a thought.

In comparison to the normal hugging and kissing, price stood out for me in a terrible division. I have watched the klitschkos for years so I look forward to him having a crack when he's ready. Tony has some real class in the uk to contend with from what I can see, but I havent a clue what that division looks like outside the uk. It goes without saying I wish him all the best.

I did unfollow him for that very reason. Not that I'm saying he should be bothered or anything.

As for other world champions that would wipe the floor with him... Cloud, Hopkins, Pascal, Bute, Dawson.

You can't just say he is world title quality cos he pushed Nathan Cleverley all the way... Cleverley is a poor poor world champion and their fight was as dull as anything.

Part of Bellew's problem is simply the division he is in, which is marginally more interesting than the Cruiserweight division at present. But more so, he suffers from being in Froch's, and now Kell Brook's shadow within Eddie Hearn's stable.

With him being so tall, does he ever struggle with the weight and would he ever consider moving up to cruiser-weight?

Steven @ 848 if you believe that the names you mention would wipe the floor with our kid then you are seriously mistaken and I find your comments quite laughable. If you watch boxing youre watching different fights to me, but as the saying goes only tie will tell.

As for the Cleverley fight if you thought that was dull then again you have lost me unless my Bellew rose tinted have clouded mine and it seems lots of others judgement of that fight. It was far from dull and I had many clev fans sitting beside me who were convinced our kid had actually won that fight.

I will leave you to your opinion but backing it up with something would go a long way to making it sound realistic and plausible would'nt you say !

Not too sure about moving up to cruiser but that's something our kid would know more than me, but right now his whole emphasis is on conquering his current division.

I do hope beyond hoping that they BOTH as you say become world champs but nothing is a certainty in life so I just take each fight as they come as our kid does and move on from there, but I do have every confidence in him becoming the next light heavy world champ from Liverpool after the great John Conteh and if its done at Goodison all the better!
