    with nobody in wards division who has got any chance on beating him (in my opinion),then i think ward will eventually go up a division and will be on for a then prime cleverly.
    at present i think ward would be too much for him but give it a year or two when ward will be looking to move up then clev would be ready and this would be a fight fans would want to see.
    whats your opinions???

    Ward would no way fight a prime fighter like Cleverly.

    What top undefeated fighters has Ward fought?

    Cleverly has stamina, workrate and a chin. Ward would not want to go near that guy. Remember Ward didnt want to fight Bute when Bute looked the business

    it could be interesting down the line, AT 175!

    Cleverly is a big lad, good workrate and stamina, solid chin

    Obviously Ward a big favorite but If Cleverly improves some, it could be interesting

    Using a lot of the logic ive seen on here lately would this fight HAVE to be in wales then seeing as Cleverly will be the champ at 175 and ward just a challenger?. Champions dont travel or so i keep reading.

    Ward is much better than Clev, the one thing is Clevs workrate could pose a big problem. It would be interesting to see how Ward deals witht hat, plus Clev has a good chin and Ward aint no puncher

    is Hopkins fighting Cleverly? I thought that is what I heard. I really thought after losing rather easily to Dawson that Bernard would retire. He has been doing this handpicking of favorable opponents for years now, but at this point it is not really top notch boxing. He loses and then handpicks a favorable guy, gets a big fight and loses then picks another favorable guy. It is more about Bernard's ego than about anything which benefits the fans or the sport.

    Would Ward take the risk and face him at 175? Or will he try and get him drained to 168 like with Dawson?

    Cleverly will probably lose before we get to see Ward tap that ass. Brits are goid at hypong their fighters into embarrassingly hilarious knockouts/schoolings. But Cleverly looks club level at best.

    Dont be too shocked if Ward losses first, he hasnt fought one top undefeated fighter or beaten one top prime fighter. Cleverly has a couple of top 10 names on his resume already who unlike the ones on Wards record are prime, oh and Cleverly took their 0s, something else Ward hasnt done

    Because it was Ward who called out Dawson to fight at SMW didn't he? You like to make up your own facts you petulant little boy.

    This is a mismatch. Ward outclasses Cleverly @ either weight.

    Clev has a better record than Ward? Its time for you to pack it up i think.

    Where have I written that?
    I havent.
    I suggest you read what is written instead of obsessing over me and trying to catch me out, because that is what keeps getting you tangled up and laughed at.
    Read what is written instead of worrying about me. You wont get yourself pwned so much then

    Cleverly is a threat to anyone because of that WORK RATE
