    he needs to ditch his old man for starters.

    secondly he fights too square.

    Never said he was flawless - just far, far above average.

    There isn't a fighter in the world who you can't pick a weakness.
     
  3. That's true.

    But not many fighters operating at world level rely so much on one/two attributes as he does. He's all heart and engine, footwork and punch technique is abysmal.

    Bollocks there are a shitload of fighters - in fact most fighters - in fact most sportsmen have one or two strengths/weapons that they rely on:

    Pacquaio - Speed/Left "backhand"
    Khan - Speed
    Bradley - headbutts
    Andy Murray - Workrate and groundstrokes
    David Beckham - Set pieces/crosses

    Top level sport is all about maximising your top attributes and using them to beat opponents.

    Hell even Usain Bolt is a shite starter - doesn't need it though as he flat speed is so good!

    Boxnation should have realised Huck/Povetkin was a decent heavyweight fight and actually provided a commentary team, rather than a commentary bloke, whose commentary was 5 seconds delayed.

    Seems like 1 step forward, 2 back all the time with this channel.

    The Cleverly "fight" was farcical.

    Clev is poor in general so it really shows Bellews level. Bellew is very predictable with his 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2 etc.
