    It's the kind of fight a real champion makes, and he is a real champion for making it. NONE of the other LW champ pretenders would ever get close to it. So, honor to the Welshman!

    No he couldn't. Pure Maths is a ridiculously hard degree to take.

    Ok guys I'm confused. Let's make this clear once and for all; Is the willingness to fight a dangerous opponent a good thing or not?

    Are you saying Cleverly should continue ducking? Fighting bums?

    No. It is definitely a good thing.

    Thread is weird.

    Kovalev is seriously over rated i have watched every fight i can find of his recently, Guy has power buts that's all he leaps in throwing wild punches following them in with his face has a **** poor jab i have seen him being out boxed by bums until he has managed to land his sloopy wild hooks

    Cleverly makes this guy look silly working of his jab

    Well, that depends whether you're any good at maths or not, surely. It is one of the degrees least susceptible to 'dumbing down' tho.

    I have to admit my own inability to understand what academic ability has to do with fight selection however.

    Far as I can see good fight and props to Clev for (apparently) looking for it.

    What's made you say that? I haven't seen one interview with cleverly where he's said any of that or even sounds like he's implying that. Then again you seem to hate all British fighters so you're probably just having a dig. Where are you from, Europe I'm guessing?

    War Lomanchenko probably one of the worst posters on here at the moment talking rubbish again.

    Youve stated pretty much 4 great reasons why Cleverly should fight this guy,If Nathan wins hel be holding all the chips in the light heavyweight division,its massive exposure for him on HBO aswell taking out supposedly one of the most dangerous fighters in the sport right now.Big pay days against the likes of Hopkins,Stevenson and maybe even Ward if he decides to move up to light heavy.

    Still seem dumb??

    I dont think so....

    ^ Yep.

    Plus, he's gonna' have to fight Kovalev eventually, there's no getting around it. Might as well do it now, before Sergey gains even more experience.

    Also, Sergey has been getting pretty serious promotion / exposure from HBO for the last year or so, so win or lose this fight brings Cleverly the same exposure.

    I beleieve the lack of competitive opponents will show itself and bite Clev in the ass.Both he and ****** are responsible for ripping off the fans for so long.

    Sorry. Can you remind me again who Kovalov's competitive opponents were?

    Clev's already beaten a top 5 LW in Bellew in Tony's hometown.
    Clev's been seeking fights with top guys such as Froch, Hopkins and Dawson.

    Its not Clev's fault nor his promoters fault if the fighters won't fight Cleverly.

    If you took the time to understand what he's saying you might have had a less ranting response.

    He's saying that Cleverly would have been clever (pun intended) taking on some other big name, who is far more beatable as Kovalev and gain some respect on that.
    I don't complain that he took the hardest challenge out there on paper, I actually applaud it. But it seems to be far from a smart move.
