Who do you reckon he can beat and why?

I'd personally keep him away from hopkins,dawson,pascal and johnson,thoughts???

 

I would keep him away from the top 6 and the other 3 for at least another 12 months.

Edit: Also, Cleverly should not be rated above Campillo at all.

 

Its a shame clinton woods is not still around, he would make ideal opponent is fairness. I think cleverly is being rushed in honesty, he should have won the lonsdale belt whilst finishing his degree and then make an assault on the top 10, The only champ who i believe he would beat no doubt is shumenov.

 

I do think he could beat Cloud. Tarver would be a very nice scalp for him. Get that fight on in Wales. Tarver would sell the fight big time and its winnable because Tarver is done. Would be a bit like Barerra vs Khan.

 

only Murat and maybe Diaconu

Cleverly , Diaconu, Murat should be not rated

Campillo, Garay and Erdei going back to 175.

 

I would avoid Cloud at all costs.

 

He would get his arse handed to him against any of those. Seriously who has he beaten any where near world class. He beat a soft Italian at the weekend who has never looked European class. Clev is a great prospect but not anywhere near contender status yet. He needs some good fights against European standard opponents.

 

:deal

Like i said i would leave hopkins,pascal,dawson and johnson alone, the others are all tough fights. I am a fan of cleverly, but he shouldn't be mixing at this level just yet.

 

What subject is he doing??

 

just a wild punt mate, could it be a maths degree???

 

spot on:good

 

It must be luck, the fact I have heard about his education since his early days. If the ****er doesn't get a 1st class honours then he will have under achieved after the billing he gets. I hear more about his course than I do about his boxing record.

I reckon sky are trying to bill him as a perfect role model and a clean cut kid. One whiff of a scandal when he becomes world champ and the kid will be ****ed by the press just like tiger woods.

 

I thought Tarver had retired?

 

I think Vacant would be a good fight for him.

 

He doesn't need to step it up yet.

He doesn't need to be rushed.

Finish his degree in the summer then a big fight in November when he's boxing full time.
