Yup.Bernard took one look at Clev's ATG resume and thought,"HBO will give me a blank cheque and top billing at the MGM to fight this guy but he's on a different planet to the bums I'm used to fighting.Motherfugga can keep the $20m.I'm out!" Nathan Cleverly.The man avoided fighters love to avoid.
I don't mind a bit of bull****, and having watched this sport for a fairly long time now I've seen plenty, but I'm really getting pissed off with British boxers making absolute tits of themselves! Hopkins V Cleverly probably would do good numbers in Cardiff but wouldn't make a ripple stateside......I'm not a huge Hopkins fan at all but credit where it's he's had a fantastic career and for Cleverly to suggest Hopkins has ducked him is the stupidist thing I've heard for what....hmmmmm....oh about 2 hours now since I read the article where Khan apparently states that he and Pacquiao are the two best offensive fighters in the world.... I just hope Nathan was misquoted and hasn't actually suggested that Hopkins ducked him.....or at worst ****** told him to say it to generate a few column inches about his next fight which will be shiiiiit!
Sick to death of this fwank bull**** about froch,hopkins and bellew pulling out of supposed superfights with big nath cleverly! In regards to bellew and froch franky boy makes them an offer to come on his channel and fight a fight under his promotion even thou they have there own promotional contracts, there obviously going to be turned down!!!
Fwank and Eddie Hearn have been tweeting back and forth over the last hour about a fight between Cleverly and Carl Froch, FW through in it'd be on " providing Nathan gets what I think he is worth as the defending Champion" so when it doesn't happen it'll be because they couldn't get 5 million pounds for the almighty WBO lightheavyweight title.
Cleverly should be be chasing Cloud and Shumenov. He can't just walk into a big money fight with established names, he has to earn it first.
BHOP has never been a PPV star, and for someone who is a legend of the sport, has never had pulling power. Ok he fought the two biggest PPV stars of his generation in Tito and ODLH, but so has Clottley for Pacquiao and Cotto, still can't draw flies to cow $h1t.
