    I'd love to see Bellew vs Lebedev.

    Nathan needs to move back down. Every great asset he had at LHW has left him at CW.

    Clev does need to go back down I agree, but for me he's caught between two weight divisions.

    Also, he's packed on 25 pounds of muscle.... as we all know it's much harder and takes more toll on the body to strip muscle than fat.

    We seen what stripping that sort of muscle mass did to Roy Jones when he moved back down.

    My thoughts exactly on Clev. 2 stone+ is some weight to drop, and to have your body yo-yo'ing up and down in weight over the course of a year will have it's problems.

    Based on last nights showing Cleverly should just retire, he didn't look at all interested in winning and the way he was blowing out of backside looked like he hadn't even trained properly either.

    Bellew should fight one of the top Cruiserweights, get brutally KO'd and then retire. Other than seeing Bellew get sparked out I'm not interested in watching either man fight again.
