    He should stay at 175 without a doubt.

    Always thought he looked small for 175 never mind cruiserweight.

    In that case he's a complete and utter moron. Needs to ditch Right Said Fred as his trainer and get on learning how to box again.

    A move to CW would be short lived....career suicide like others stated thought he was looking to either move down or a catchweight fight against Froch.

    Looks like he has to move up after all the pies and beers he's been having...
    At the moment moving up is literally the last thing he should be thinking about at all. Bizarre idea. Confidence rebuilding before anything else.

    In case you were confused he didn't actually fight on Sky Sat night.

    He lost to probably the best LHW of the world. He shouldn't be so disappointed. Everybody will probably lose from Kovalev. It is not a good decision. He must think it again and remain at light heavy.

    And make a fight with Chavez jr?

    Moving up to cruiser is something he really should forget. Cruiserweight had the name to be a weak division for a long time, but it has been pretty strong for years now.
    LHW was the weak division, and it's living up now with that pimp and certainly Kovalev in the mix, but Cleverly can still hold his own there.

    Cruiser on the other hand has guys like Lebedev (if he recovers), Huck, Afolabi, Chambers, Mchunu, Masternak etc and I can't see him beating any of those guys.

    TT bang on with regards Bellew disciplined himself making 175 but does why? He knows he would be exposed more at the higher weight.

    perhaps but anthony farnell seems to think bellew could beat anyone in the world at cruiserweight?

    lets be honest hes likely to be exsposed by stevenson or cloud mate
