    Like he did against Lebedev?

    I'm not rating Roy; just think you guys are rating Clev way too highly. Not too much power, no defence, plodding.....what a fighter.

    Doesn't matter if he plods against Roy, Roy stands still and just blocks stuff and then throws about 5 punches per 200 thrown at him. Plus does not have the power he did.

    Exactly. Clev may outwork RJJ, but he is not going to KO him in a few rounds like has been suggested.

    Roy Jones looks like he is struggling to make weight a lot, I mean he looked heavy in the Lebedev fight despite doing much better than expected and nearly pulled off a Morales but no dice. If he had to drain himself to fight Cleverly then theres only one outcome.

    Still I would like to see him vs Enzo . . . now that would be a more marketable fight
