    Covers everything. In fairness to big Clev wasn't Hawk a last minute replacement? Yeah he shouldn't be fighting bums all the time but its not like he should pull out and **** over all his fans (assuming a few family members went over) who bought flights and tickets on the principle that his opponent is shite.

    How about Bellew giving Hawk some time to prepare and the two of them fighting?

    Let's be honest, there's loads of these titles knocking about these days. It seems you only need to be fairly decent with good management/promotion and you can pick up one of these trinkets.

    The fight with Bolonti was easier than most area title fights to be honest, not Tony's fault of course, but it makes the WBC look like they're dealing in Top Trumps cards rather than world class boxing titles.

    Shawn Hawk was the better fighter than Bolonti.

    Look at the two fights.

    Nathan Cleverly was in a totally different gear, that Toney Bellew's gear box does not have.

    Shawn Hawk was under immense, immense pressure was taking bombs, but also at times bravely fighting back and getting off his own bombs.

    Now look at the Bellew vs Bolonti fight.

    After 3 rounds, Bellew looked like he was punching underwater! and for me he always just looks empty physical, totally drained and empty.

    Balonti hardly put any punchers together.
