Cleverly comes Home !!

I don't rate Shumenov. I'd pick Clev to beat him relatively comfortably.

 

Because there are 4 major belts, no more than the top 10 matter, even top 5. The orgs have bogus rules like they won't rate fighters who are in eliminators, title fights etc for other orgs. Can't remember what the rules are but the typical bogus ****.

Basically, defending against top 15 should still be classified as unacceptable. The contender really needs to be highly ranked across all the rogs. At least top 15 but really top 10 if boxing is to have any credibility.

 

If it is someone decent i will go,if it`s a bum i wont bother

 

Marcus Vinicius de Oliveira would as bad as any of Burns defences at SF.

 

but Dirks is a native German and hasn't fought anyone yet. i doubt Sauerland would want to sent him into such a fight. Do you mix him up with Gutknecht maybe who holds the euro belt?
It was said at the WBO convention that Clev has to fight his mandatory Sukhotsky until February, i actually hope thats the fight.
