    Just read the BBC website and noticed that Nathan Cleverly is fighting for the interim WBO title, which could be made into the full title if the Germany Braehmer is jailed. He wants to unify apparently and Wales could have a 3 weight world champion in the making.

    Can Cleverly make the move from European level \ WBO interim level(Murat, Braehmer etc) onto the world stage against the top fighters?

    I see no reason why he should not be a decent title holder for the next few years, but also believe that the 175lbs title fragmentation means that winning and defending a couple of titles will be relatively easy compared to when Jones and Michalczewski were bosses.

    It could be argued that 3 of the current champs, perhaps four of them would be easy pickings for any decent light heavyweight or super middleweight thinking of moving up.

    Cleverly should \ has a good chance of beating what's out there, but what dangers are awaiting him?

    Will he make big money and become a household name?

    What's your thoughts on this?
