    not at this stage of his career stiffy, bernard would break him down and frustrate him into making mistakes, i could see it being stopped. no disrespect to cleverly hes a very good fighter but i think hes a bit green to be taking on an old dog such as bernard

    Cleverly would get badly schooled... he is way too open for B-Hop and would fall behind on points in the early rounds and never recover

    Latest I have seen is that Hopkins intends to undertake his obligation of fighting Chad Dawson and then he is contemplating fighting Sergio Martinez

    Way too soon i agree . Nath has a tendency to get caught far too often for his own good and this could prove his downfall v an experienced bloke like Hops , Nath is 24 and should proper win the trinket before even thinking of going in there with such experience . he should fight the WBO's # 1 ranking fighter first before being paraded as their title holder as well i reckon .

    I agree with everyone regarding this...Cleverly has had a nice professional career thus far & is still learning his craft, but he is not ready to be thrown in with the likes of B-Hop.

    Cleverly-Bellew winner could face Hopkins.

    Lot of assumptions being made here. Despite being less than stellar in his last 2 fights I give Dawson a big chance to beat Hopkins. Chad has wanted Nard for ages. Hopkins if he wins I think would rather target Bute. But FW seems to think it's a possibility.

    Cleverly is an excellent young fighter and would stand a very good chance against Hopkins .
    He can use his size and box brilliantly on the outside and is tough as nails and real good infighter also .
    Put it this way , he's much better than Pascal !

    If Bhop gets past Chad Dawson he will have bigger fish to fry.

    Aaaah but don't forget Hopkins is desperate to get another shot at Calzaghe, Calzaghe sued ****** for unpaid money for the Hopkins bout and won 1.8 million pounds. This might be Bernard's and ******s way to smoke Joe out of his hole so to speak.

    I think with Hopkin's desperate too rematch Joe and ****** being a shifty **** with a grudge theres a good chance of this happening. Anyway time will tell.

    Danny Green is the only man on this planet that can defeat the great Bernard Hopkins, just ask his fans! it has to happen in the USA but, Green dont like the pressure of doing his own promotions:rofl

    Cleverly, please watch the 2008 'schooling' of Kelly Pavlik by one, Bernard Hopkins and then go stick your head in the toilet, flush and wake up to your ****ing self!

    That is all.
