    Robin Krasniqi

    24 years old

    6'' 1'

    33% ko

    unbeaten in 6 years since his 3rd pro fight

    NEVER BEEN STOPPED

    37-2, 183 rounds boxed

    Not great by any standards on paper but at least his young, fairly tall with plenty of experience and he will come to win. It could be a lot worse and you guys know this.
    Cleverlys coming back very quick from his last fight which is good to see and he was never going to have a big opponent for this one. Remember he is still young and still learning. Although he has a title he is still a prospect.
    How about we stop bitching about it and show some support. We only have 2 world champions in this country so lets get behind them for a change shall we.
    At the end of the day we on here cant complain becasue its not us getting in the ring. He has loads of big fights down the line and theres no need to rush it.

    However, no doubt he will walk through this though and i am certainly hoping for better opponents during 2012.

    Hes supposed to be a world champion & we pay £10pm for the privledge.

    His last fight with Karpency was one of the worst fights ive ever seen. Made even worse because Cleverley was actually trying to look good, yet failed miserebly.

    Ive got no problem with a "stay busy" fight. But he is being marketed as a world champion. This is a sack of **** fight and you know it.

    So why isn't he fighting Sukhotsky, his mandatory, who is available and is actually quite good?

    This is the same method Joe Calzaghe followed from 1997 to 2006-


    Tried, tested, success.


    Biggest problem in boxing-


    To get a title fight, you must be rated in the 15 for each Org WBO, WBC, IBF, WBA so why dont we count across the board how many different fighters are ranked in each org discounting guys that ranked in multiple orgs so they will count as one.

    The following are all ranked in each of the BIG 4 sanctioning bodies. Shocking!


    1. Chad Dawson
    2. Ismayl Sillakh
    3. Eduard Gutknecht
    4. Jean Pascal
    5. Dawid Kostecki
    6. Pawel Glazewski
    7. Roberto Bolonti
    8. Isaac Chilemba
    9. Ryan Coyne
    10. Cornelius White
    11. Hany Atiyo
    12. Sergey Kovalev
    13. Adrian Diaconu
    14. Andrezj Fonfara
    15. Jurgen Brahmeer
    16. Gayrat Amedov
    17. WBA list Ryan Cone he does not exist.
    18. Vyacheslav Uzelkov
    19. Dmitry Sukhotsky
    20. Sullivan Barrera
    21. Braimah Kamoko
    22. Manny Vlamis
    23. Roberto Bolonti
    24. Cedric Agnew
    25. Karo Murat
    26. Gabriel Campillo
    27. Zsolt Erdei
    28. Yusaf Mack
    29. Denis Simcic
    30. Allen Green
    31. Soulan Pownceby
    32. Robin Krasniqi
    33. Andrzej Fonfara
    34. Marcus Vinicius de Oliviera
    35. Tommy Karpency
    36. Dustin Dirks
    37. Kariz Kariuki
    38. Tony Bellew

    Beibut Shumenov WBA Champ
    Bernard Hopkins WBC Champ
    Travoris Cloud IBF Champ


    Thats 38 different fighters, and if you include the 3 'other' champions this means that there are currently in March 2012 41 possible fighters that Cleverly could face. So literally a fighter can hide behind the title by fighting someone techincally ranked a top 15 in his org WBO but in reality could be ranked 35th or 29th etc...
