    Nice info! Booth is weird (in a good way) and a top trainer, should do well with Cleverly.

    Only on a trial basis at the moment as Vince also said.

    I'm guessing things might change when Booth puts his wage demands in.

    this is all we need Booth feeding Cleverelys delusions that he can win a world title at CW

    Good move for Nathan, something had to give, its a tough time to come in for Booth however, Cleverly will be looking for world title shots while Booth has to pick up the pieces and plug a lot of gaps in Nathans game.

    All booths fighters seem to end up with really good timing, but I am a firm believer that some people just naturally have good timing.

    This may be what booth looks for in fighter hey takes and therefore thats why they have it (i.e. haye, groves, price(early).

    But Cleverley looks to be like someone who is always going to struggle with the timing aspect, and therefore power will always be an issue.

    However, I also suspect Booth will be able to make dramatic (and relatively simple) improvement to Clev's terrible footwork.

    Clev's natural defence would not be nearly as bad if it weren't for his aweful feet. He could learn a lot from jamie mcDonell. His style of footwork would suit much better than say a clazaghe.

    well pissed hope that made any sense

    Yeah i know, but did you not see how Andy Lee looked in his last fight? And big Pricey was meant to be looking good as well albeit in the Gym.

    It will take time, but Nathan will be sound.

    Good move by him in theory but i think VC will still be heavily involved won't be long before Booth & VC fall out.

    Really can't see Cleverly fighting much longer anyway.

    Time will tell, I like Booth and have enjoyed watching Cleverley so good luck to the man, plenty of boxers have managed to come again, no reason why he can't if he wants to.
