    There's one great fighter then only good fighters. But it doesn't really matter if the next best thing does not come out of this division as long as they give us good fights right? Campillo vs Cloud was a very good fight! Shumenov, Campillo, Cloud, Pascal, Dawson, Cleverly, Froch soon can give us very good fights I believe. That's good enough for me!

    He could try to be a boxer first type of fighter. His chin is good and has the long limbs, stamina and boxing skills to succeed fighting that way.

    Actually, Cleverly is a good fighter, a volume puncher, but Kovalev is a really good boxer with huge power. Cleverly just could not take all that punishment, but remember, Kovalev is the best light heavyweight in the world today. He will knock out Ward, but Ward will never fight him.............Hopkins refused to fight Kovalev and for good reason...........
