    Cleverly wins - straight forward enough - one sided stoppage or wide points decsion.

    Just a level above Bellew.

    I'm not sure about that. Is Bellew's power at 175 overrated on this forum? I think so.

    I'd like to see Bellew at Cruiserweight personally.

    Theres nothing to suggest Clev will be knocked out.

    Has he ever been down or knocked out before ?

    Bellew is the one with it all to prove - cos he be stepping up a level.

    Clev boxes for about a minute the hangs his chin out, ignores Dean Powell, goes to war and stops bellew within 4 whilst vince dances around the ring swinging tie towel round his head. Nothing against bellew but there's no way he'd get a world title shot anytime soon if clev wasn't a beltholder.

    I think so.

    Clev fled Camp Calzaghe a long time ago.

    Before they started to crumble.

    I think Clev was serious about having a successful career and realised Camp Calzaghe were amateur ******s under the ******ed Enzo Calzaghe.

    So he got out and never went back.

    Personally I reckon Bellew's career gains win, lose or draw (unless he loses in the 1st round which he wont), that said..I'll call the draw, Clev to out box him for most of 8 odd rounds then Bellew to catch him late rounds and Clev find himself scrubbing the poop deck a couple of times.
    Score cards are a draw, the controversy starts and I mug some sukka on betfair for a few notes.

    I get unreal support on here and I know they'll all be cheering me on and I love that and it means a lot really it does, I just believe in being written off by 90% of boxing people.. All I'll say is just actually watch Cleverly fight, he ain't Pascal he ain't Hopkins or Dawson! The guy fights one way and that suits me down to the ground! I don't claim to be the best fighter in my weight in the world but I do know boxing and I know Cleverly is a good fight for me!

    He's been talked up like he is really someone on the verge of greatness! Sky are more interested in his cap and gown than they are in his boxing ability, people who doubt me, just study him like I have for 2 years! If this comes off I'll show people what I'm talking about, I ain't Danny McIntosh and I'm a level above Najib Mohammed! I'll bring something he's never seen! A will that can't be broken and balls the size of king kongs! I am not coming for a pay day! I'm coming to take that title ;-)

    Thanks for the support ESB ya spot on! ;-)

    Tony, just out of curiosity, if the fight happens what would your tactics be, Bomber or Boxer? Clev does leave his chin hanging, and I do think he is a knock out waiting to happen. Just wondering if you rate his power higher than Ovill's as that forced you to box rather than brawl.

    I don't make the gameplans up, that's my coaches job... I'll say this though, he is not a 1 punch hitter like McKenzie.. I know what people will say about McKenzies record but I've already said it, his record is like a big lie!! McKenzie is a serious puncher ;-)

    I reckon he needed to go 12 rounds and actually do some boxing, not bombing (like Haye v Abdoul). Preperation and training and all that.

    (I know you asked Tony that question but it's a free country!) :good
