    i have to agree. i think his latest run of stoppages is completely manufactured and misleading. his punches really don't have much 'snap' on them. thats not to say i dont think he could beat braehmer whatsoever.
    but people talk about his power improving, i dont buy one second of it.

    he makes up for it for being very awkward to fight, having a solid chin and he picks his punches beautifully

    brahmer doesnt stand a chance

    Yeah, it's just a clever use of misdirection and CGI.

    Thats not the problem for Cleverly. The problem is taking risks with his chin. If he does it with Jurgen he will be put to sleep:tired

    he hasnt been so much has hurt badly yet, to put his chin into question is a bit silly

    he is defensively naive i`ll give you that

    Totally agree mate there is nothing wrong with his chin, but you dont take uneccesary risks liek Cleverly does, cos in the end it catches up Mr Margarito to name a few

    He's right to question his power but he never said he was feather fisted.

    Being feather fisted is something else entirely, that suggests he could never hurt anybody which is not true. Cleverly has JUST about enough power with his volume to upset fighters from what we've seen so far.

    Similar in the way that they both score KOs as a result of volume and accuracy rather than power, and that they can take bith a punch
    Both adaptable too
