Could Cleverley make 168 pounds to take on Froch like Dawson is to take on Ward?

    If Cleverley wants the fight so much why doesn't he try getting down to 168? Then Froch would have no excuses not to take the fight.

    If he did get down to 168 could the IBF Super middleweight title and the WBO Light Heavyweight titles be on the line? or wouldn't the WBO sanction it?

    Froch, quite rightly, deosnt consider the WBO to be a real world title and Cleverly a real world champion.

    Froch VS Cleverly isnt a big fight. Is Cleverly even big in Wales? I assume not as he had to fight Bellew (his biggest fight) in Liverpool.

    Yes it is, although looking domestically, and purely from a PR angle, Froch De Gale is a bigger spectacle

    Maybe not, but personally, I would rather see that fight over Froch - Mack. Cleverly would jump at the fight IMO but Frank is a different story.

    I understood Frank madee a million pound offer to Froch to fight Clev.I am certain Froch is not getting anywhere near that for Mack.
    I have not seen Matchroom offer Clev a million pounds to meet Froch at the SMW division.

    The fight's never going to happen no matter what weight. Sky+BoxNation clash!

    Does Fwank hate Cleverly all of a sudden? Froch would batter him. Hard.

    It wouldn't do his confidence any good at all for someone to come up from a lower weight and completely show him up in his own back yard, I think if he fought Froch he'd never be the same fighter.

    Cleverly needs to go back to the Hopkins route.
