    Dan Rafael: Paper being finalized for Cleverly-Kovalev on @HBOboxing on Aug. 17. Won't be @THEREALBHOP-Kovalev. Cant say I am surprised. #boxing

    It's on!

    No more people saying Nathan's taking the easy fight, Hopkins has ducked this guy but Nathan is taking him on.

    A win over Kovlaev would trump all of Froch's wins as Froch has only beat bums or shot fighters.. Bute was a hype job and Kessler was shot but Nathan is fighting somebody in the prime of their career.

    :good

    This is looking more and more interesting. It's a big gamble for Cleverly. Kovalev has beaten four opponents in just over a year, all TKO's within three rounds. Multiple knockdowns. He's a puncher, good boxer, is strong, looks durable and has kept busy. He throws great combinations and is coming to win. That's a really impressive set of tools\attributes. What can Cleverly do to beat him? Do they see a weakness? :?

    Behave....Cleverly will be his biggest test and Nathans best win is a points decision over Belluw

    Love the fact a forummer named 'ButeTheBeast' goes on to say Bute is a hype job.

    Well played sir.

    Yeah he may have a fight scheduled but i doubt it'll end up being against Kovalev. If it was then why wasn't Kovalev at the press conference that Fw.ank held the other day. It really reeks of Wa.rren's usual BS. If you watch the press conference it's pretty much just 20 mins of ego stroking and saying the usual **** about everyone being scared to fight Clev and all the other bollocks about supposed offers made to Froch (whilst attempting to bait him) and others. If (and it's a big if) the fight does get made then Cleverly deserves some respect for finally taking on a live body in only his 6 defence of his 'world' title. Also there's been absolutely nothing said to suggest that Hopkins is ducking Kovalev. In fact it's quite the contrary: ***.badlefthook.com/2013/6/19/4445384/bernard-hopkins-says-he-will-defend-against-sergey-kovalev

    This is new information since Tuesday though.

    Hopkins has said: “For me, it’s a no-brainer,” the 48-year-old Hopkins said. “Kovalev can go get Cleverly, I can probably get Adonis and we go head-to-head and give the fans the old light heavyweight battles they had in the late '70 and '80s, and then the winners can fight. It doesn’t seem complicated. OK, maybe I’m being a little sarcastic.”

    If this fight happens, it's probably because Clev's pushed for it, maybe his deal is running out with Frank, who knows. But it's not just smoke and mirrors, it looks like it's happening.

    Fair play to Cleverly. Fat Dan is a fat disgrace.

    Bhop would school Kovalev, the reason he didnt take the fight is probably because it doesnt make much business sense at this stage in his career

    Bhop fights Kovalev - Very little interest in this fight to the general public
    Cleverly fights some other bum
    Stevenson stays idol or fights Cloud

    or

    Bhop fights Adonis - IBF/WBC unification
    Cleverly fights Kovalev - WBO
    Winner fights each other for a WBO/IBF/WBC Unification

    Which sounds better?

    It'd be inconvenient to have yourself named after a hypejob refering to them as a beast...
