    I think the way he won his world title has a lot to do with the fact that he was actually given it, on a plate.

    Unbelievable.

    Frank said: 'Nathan is coming on in leaps and bounds and all our attention will now of course turn to April 28 and the Bernard Hopkins V Chad Dawson fight, then we will be making a big decision about a fight in the summer.'

    'For me the best fight for Nathan would be Hopkins.
    'I have a feeling Dawson may upset the odds when they face each other, he will give him a lot of problems, but I would prefer Hopkins.

    'He is a big name, he had a good fight with Joe Calzaghe and if we brought him over and did that show at Cardiff City Stadium or the Millennium Stadium, it would be a great atmosphere with maybe 50,000 people in there.'

    'Nathan needs big fights, he rises to them and he has great temperament.'



    Cleverly said:'I think I am ready to be unified champ.
    Hopkins and Dawson are the elite guys in the division, if you want to be the best those are guys you have to head for.'

    'I think I will be ready by the summer, if the opportunity came I would grab it with both hands and feel I could win the fight.'

    'Hopkins is a legend of the sport, an icon in the division, he has that aura. The fans showed their support by coming out tonight and I am sure that would be a good fight.'

    I don't know what it is about Cleverly, I like him as a fighter he's decent to watch even if he lacks a bit of power. He's just got that Paul Smith-esque type of misery about him, he comes across as moany even if he's not being that way. Throw in the bandana or backwards cap and the Bass Hunter music and I just can't admit to liking him. Too embarrassing.

    On a scale of 1-10 of ****ishness. 1 being Craney, 5 being DFTaylor, 10 being Hitler.

    Paul Smith is a 15.
    Cleverly is a 3.

    This Robin Krasniqi fellow, I do hope he's good. I'd very much enjoy to see Mr Cleverly have his face defiled.

    How can You say froch has not faced the best , he has fought the best at the weight. :patsch

    Also I would like to see froch smash cleverly I think there styles would make for a good spectacle, I don't really like cleverly very smug and hasn't fought anybody.

    thing is if Kraniqui wins who is he going to fight. Not Hopkins, Shumenov, Dawson, Kovalev. Better of having Clev win at least hes more fun to watch.

    Not convinced by Clev ever since he made of a meal of Mohammedi.
    I don't care if he had an awkward style and it was short notice, he should've beat that guy comfortably.

    He won't beat the top guys by overwhelming them with punches and relying on his work rate.

    Cleverley vs Anthony Hopkins is the biggest fight Wales will ever have.
