    Cleverly hasn't appeared on camera discussing boxing since he retired really. I'll be honest on his social media he comes across like he's completely lost the plot, but he speaks well here. Would really like to hear his version of events post-boxing sometime.

    Smart man, shame he doesn't do commentary work.

    He has completely lost the plot, as you say, since that 2014 interview. And the woman he is with is doing him no favours.

    I can't see him rediscovering his senses any time soon, if at all.

    He's very intelligent and a great athlete but seemingly struggles with life after boxing. He should count his blessings.

    I really liked cleverly..he gets slagged off for his opposition...which..you know is kinda warranted..but I'm not gonna slag someone off for voluntarily fight against kovalev .... Seemed a really nice kid..none criticism I had of him is he seemed to think he was a bigger puncher than he was and started trying to sir down on his punches more rather than boxing n trying to go to war with people when it wasn't warranted..I remember him being a better boxer on the way up

    Yeah thought this mindset let him down against Fonfara, which I thought was quite winnable for him if he'd used his boxing.

    Agreed...that's one of the fights I was thinking of..he was far better than finfara but elected to just sit there n play you have a go...I'll have a go...he started doing it back in his domestic days though knocking out local tribesman whose names escape me...but fact is he was a lovely boxer and had alot more to his game....on show in the Oakey fight....shame really...he's been a world champion which most of us can't say but I feel he couldve been that much better and is at times an object of ridicule on this board...when there's **** all wrong with Clev when he was a boxer..nice guy..looks to have a few problems sadly

    He would have had a better career if he had stayed with Enzo Calzaghe.

    I've always liked Cleverley. Enjoyed his rivalry with Bellew.

    Prime Kovalev was a beast.

    Canelo wouldn't have lasted 6 rounds.

    He was. Stevenson knew it too, ducked him for 5 years.
