    bad move , seen him on boxing shows in between fights and he looks a little chubby, dont think making weight was issue though , wrong tactics against krusher , should go down to super middle some decent fights for him there, and carry some power , can only see world of pain going up to cruiser, get a proper trainer instead of his dad too, guy s clever but not thought about this one me thinks:nono

    Enzo "on his back" Mac overachieved at CW. You really think Cleverly would be able to do the same somehow? :blood

    Supposedly he's planning on putting on 25lbs of muscle so no it doesn't sound like the wisest move unless he has no ambitions of acutally being successful at CW and just sees a couple of big money fights there. After all the guy was talking retirement after his first loss so I don't think he was ever legit abut being a true champion but then again isn't he a ***** fighter? That's all you really need to know about how 'legit' a guys ambitions are...

    :lol: That's cruel man... Like his entrance music should be "Why Can't We Be Friends?".
    I think Enzo got 'broken down' moreso than he wasn't tough in the first place, he's a fighter, just a limited one.

    The guy is going to just going to fight all the bums in the cruiserweight division because he used them all up in the LH division.

    Nothing more than a shitty calslappy imitation. A fraud who just wants to tally up his record fighting bums because he knows when he steps up to world class opposition(fighting men like kovalev), all his silly bravado won't hold up

    Nathan Cleverly should stay at light-heavyweight, says Calzaghe

    The Welshman will be fighting at cruiserweight, but Calzaghe - who trained two world champions - doubts he has the power required.

    "If he was with me and asked if he should turn cruiserweight I would probably have said no," he said.

    "How many people has he knocked out as a light-heavyweight - two? He probably hasn't got the killer punch."

    Late Enzo knocked out often :D Nathan had no power at LHW and he wants to try his luck at CW thats straight suicide, amazing what Kovalev ass whopping can do.

    I don't think Cleverly or Bellew are going to make any great waves at cruiser. I think the plan will be to work towards a rematch for as much money as they are able to get. Cleverly Bellew II is the biggest fight for both of them.

    He's food at CW. Why would he move up anyway? LHW is more prestigious and there is more money to be made.
