    very ambitious!

    cleverly has done well so far and has some good skill and has fasr hands but for me i dont think he has been proper tested yet. we will learn more about cleverly when he fights murrat but for me i dont think hes ready yet for the top guys especially as he is wide open for shots as his defence is not the best and the top guys can certainly exploit that.

    heard an interview with Harold Lederman today he says he really rates Cleverly. also likes Brook.

    Clev should take one step at a time. However

    Pasacal is made for Cleverly imo, would be a good fight but Clev seems to have all the correct ingredients to beat Pascal - height, reach, engine, punch output, chin, aggression.

    Cleverly should be focused on Murat who is proven world class.

    Sounds like one of Khan's tongue slips, except Cleverly is a bright guy.

    Other major difference is Clev has a chin

    He's been fed a steady diet of afrobum's, well see how good his chin is when he faces some decent competition.

    Took some big wallops off McIntosh who aint a world beater but has serious power, and hailing from East Anglia probably cant be classed as an "Afrobum"

    pascal beats cleverly easy. cleverly too open and hasn't been in with decent opposition yet. a few more fights against good opposition might change my mind

    Took some off Fry also if I recall, wouldn't class them as high level competition though.

    Cleverly should take his time, he's still young, assuming he beats Murat, he should go for Campillo then Shumenov then unify against Brahemer

    mclintosh is no huge puncher tho. im not saying he cant punch, but he has 5 stoppages out of 11 wins. against some very average fighters, cleverly got dropped and hurt bad by joe vegas and he isnt exactly known for being a big puncher, i know he was a s middle at the time but what am saying is that when a world class or even good class puncher hits him bare in mind he doesnt have the greatest defence what is going to happen.

    i think he should figbht a few more decent standard fighters before thinking about taking on the great fighters
