    Who would you say has a better resume between these two boxers and why do you have that opinion.

    Interesting Nathan Cleverly has only fought one world champion, the newly crowned Kovalev.

    Barker lasting 11 rounds with an in form Martinez is better than what Cleverly's achieved.

    Barker. But why do people give credit for losses I have no idea. Maybe I should fight Mayweather, Pacquiao and Marquez, I'll then have a better resume then these guys.....

    How has he? I thought Chilemba boxed his head off and only lost about 3 rounds in the first fight, didn't see the rematch though but still Chilemba is by no means a truly elite fighter at light heavy and Bellew had home advantage.

    No chance, geale was a legit world champ and a different league to bellew.

    Darren Barkers Top wins -

    Daniel Geale - IBF Middleweight Champion
    Kerry Hope - Former European Middleweight Champion
    Simone Ritolo - Holds a SD loss to Sebastian Sylvester
    (One loss to WBC Middleweight Champion Sergio Martinez)

    Nathan Cleverly's top wins -

    Tony Bellew - WBC #1 Contender
    Karo Murat - IBF #1 Contender
    Aleksy Kuziemski - Challenged Juergen Braehmer and Jean Pascal
    Danny Mcintosh - Went onto win the European title afterwords
    Robin Krasniqi - WBO #1 Contender
    (One Loss to WBO Champion Sergei Kovalev)

    At the moment I give the edge to Cleverly slightly but will say if Barker beats Sturm and Geale again then he has easily surpassed Cleverly in terms of resume.

    P4P in my opinion based on performances however I have Barker ahead due to his effort against Martinez and Geale although he has been matched pretty softly with the exception of those two bouts.

    lol billy you don't have clue
    yet again you are posting dumb views

    Geale has proved himself was a world champion has beaten Sturm and Sylvester ( in Germany), and Mundine.
    Geale is better than Bellew, goes without saying really
