Are the British Light Heavyweights better than the super middleweights?

Well lets face it, Froch was made to look like a caveman in the Super Six.

He was coming off a big knockout win Vs Taylor (a fight in which he was dropped) and failed to live up to the expectations of being a big puncher

He then goes on to have a close points win against Dirrell, a Loss to Kessler, a points win over a small MW, A close shave with a Vet who hadnt made the weight in years and finally gets butt ****ed by Ward.

Cleverly on the other hand has shown H2H that he can take a punch from someone such as Bellew and is still a belt holder. they offered a fight to Froch but he didnt want it and will fight some stiff back in the UK seeing as the big money Bute fight is out the window

If Froch could feel that he could beat Cleverly he would have taken the fight and added another belt in a second weight class, however why lose to someone youd get less money fighting?

That is why I have Clevers above Froch, H2H I believe he can win, Recent performances give him the upper hand but Froch has fought the better opposition but when did Froch win his first world title? when he was 31 3 years ago at 23 - 0

Clevers won the British - Euro - Commonwealth and World 175 WBO belt when he was 23 at 22 -0

These are all valid reasons why I have Clevers above Froch at this moment in time

When Cleverly can beat Bellew without having to it him in the bollocks I might consider him to have moved past European level.

Until then I'm going to carry on giving 0 ****s about his **** career.

I think hed be able to beat Bellew easier in a return but by the looks of things thats not going to happen again any time soon

Bellew should go up against Gutknecht next and take the euro title from him, he definitely has the beating of him and maybe go on to challenge Beibut Shumenov for the WBA, two winnable fights for Bellew

As for Clevers im a bit pissed off with Franks **** poor choice of opponent in Carpency, I would have prefered the Shumenov fight or at least bring Adrian Diaconou over

I have to disagree, theres no evidence to suggest this IMO.

He's there for the taking in the same way he always has been, I should have specified. I don't mean he's past it because I don't think he is, he's the same as he always was.

Against numerous fighters at 168/175 actually in their prime I worry for him

Agreed Diaconu would have been great for Cleverley. Not too much of a threat on recent performances, but still a name and still would have got far more buzz and credit than fighting a complete nobody. Plus Diaconu always comes to fights, but he doesn't have a high work-rate so Clev would beat him convincingly just filling in the gaps, the styles would gel and it would enhance Cleverley's money making potential. But then again all Frank's interested in is easy pay days.

Ah ESB where if your opinion differs from everyone elses then you dont know **** about boxing

Alls im saying is that at this moment in time Cleverly may just be the best out of the 168-175's.
