    With Bellew unable to make the early weight the options for Cleverly on Saturday seem to be either an overweight 10 rounder against Bellew or a WBO title defence against Kuziemski. Which would you favour?

    How the **** did Bellew get a world title fight anyway? This fight should not be for a title even if Bellew could make weight. Let them do it at catchweight then we can get on with seeing how Clev performs at a genuine world title level.

    If it is Cleverley v a Euro nobody I am not buying this PPV. It has to be a catchweight with Bellew for a PPV or Sky Sport 1 the whole thing

    We'd all prefer the catchweight fight, would be unfair on Cleverly to have it much over the 175 limit though.

    Unfortunately we all know what option Warren will prefer. The way this PPV has been marketed has been 1. The Grudge (DeGale/Groves) and 2. The Title (Clev/Whoever)...Warren is gonna bring in the Eurobum :yep

    do we know for definate that he cant make the weight? cos i cant find any news on it...

    also defo go for the catchweight, bomber smashes him but clev still keeps his belt which will set up a rematch nicely. the build up to clev/bomber II would be brilliant in these circumstances...

    We could have a bizarre situation then. If Clev/Bellew happens at a catchweight and Tony manages to win, Cleverly remains WBO Light Heavyweight Champion despite losing to a 'bum' :lol:

    Everyone who doesnt own sheep & lives outside a valley wants the Bellew fight but Fwank will most likely do the opposite

    If anything the roles have been reversed its "the (british) title" Groves-Degale & "the grudge" Bellew-Cleverly

    Cleverly should give Bellew 5 pounds and not an ounce more , it doesnt matter how short notice it is , Cleverly is a LHW , Tony is clearly gonna have to move to Cruiser soon and is a bigger man than Cleverly !!!

    IMO Clev gives him 5 pounds and does the fight @180 or he declines the fight , **** for the fans but thats what id do if i was him !!!

    At 180 Tony would only need to lose a pound and a half, should do that no problem.
