    Are you some kind of mong?!?!? Or just biased with double standards?

    First and foremost, Clev' is not a World champion. So, the real question is, is it feasible for a Euro-level fighter to take on a British-level fighter. Yes, it is.

    **** the 'World' title off; then you'll be able to enjoy the fight for what it is.

    Fact is, getting wound up by Bellew getting a 'shot at the title' but not getting wound up that Clev' calls himself a 'World champion' means you need to take a look at the bigger picture.

    The perfect example of what is wrong with boxing, is that Nathan Cleverly holds a 'World' title.

    Spot on.

    - How is anyone annoyed at this fight when we get to see two domestic rivals slug it out?

    - Anyone who thinks Clev is a true world champion is boarder line ******ed.

    I'm just waiting for someone to come out with bull**** comments like 'the money makes sense' etc.

    We are boxing fans, we should be wanting to see as close to 50/50 fights as possible.

    This is going to be a great fight!!!

    Just to add.

    **** the belts, its two boxers who IMO are well matched slugging it out.

    I couldn't give a rats (bellew likes the rodent links) ass if no belts were up for grabs!!!

    As Flea says, for me it only really becomes a problem if you think Cleverlys WBO title is a real world title. Otherwise its an interesting domestic/ fringe Euro fight.

    I find it difficult to ignore the belt like some do. The boxers' promoter has been one of the most vocal when it comes to slagging off the BBC for not covering professional boxing yet I wonder how much extra he charges for coverage merely off the back of it being a so called world title fight.

    Not a great arguement seeing as it is the TV Networks who insist on every fight being a 'world title fight' so they can sell it.
