    in all fairness he was very impressive in his last outing and was at his lowest weight

    hope he can keep up the good progress

    Wasn't that impressive against Power. Good but I didn't feel like..wow this guy is something special. Certainly a stretch to think he's got something for Cleverly.

    he destroyed power , beat him in every round and knocked him down a few times

    i havent seen much in cleverley tbh either

    i think he is a bit overhyped by the brits like a few of there fighters like barker and degale etc

    Cleverly is a nice fighter i think he doesn't get a lot of credit on here. He did along time ago but not recently, seems to have it all. Apparently he is doing something in Maths you don't hear much about it though.

    Not seen Sweeney from memory anyway. Can't really take much from his record.

    sweeney is doing alright he is progresing well , i saw him fight on his debut and was not impressed at all but i was very impressed in his last outing

    cleverley is good but i dont think he is a world beater

    same as sweeney both can go onto euro level no doubt

    just seen him on youtube.

    got to say wasn't impressed 1 bit, looks sluggish and very 1 dimensional,

    think your glasses are tinted here mate, he wouldnt go 4 rounds with the likes of bellew and cleverly :patsch

    Cleverly will easily make a few title fights i think. Already in a euro title fight at his age he probably should be picking a world title up. Hope he does he seems a good fella.

    those fights on youtube are a completeley different fighter to the one in his last fight

    he has shed 20 pounds since then and is now training under sean mannion and fighting for art pellulo promotions , and he is looking sharper and more powerful

    Still Cleverly and Bellew are a whole different class to Power.
    Sweeney is extremely impressive in his last bout and changed my opinion of him as a talented man but who doesn't have the dedication so won't go anywhere, to a talented man who won't achieve as much as he should due to a lack of dedication :lol:

    He should be fighting at 168 really, there's more to come off him than the few pounds to make Light-Heavyweight. At Super-Middleweight he'd be extremely powerful aswell, and he's already shown he has the skill when called upon.

    The major thing is(as pointed out by most people here) dedication, he just doesn't seem to have enough of it and while things have seemingly improved greatly in that regard he still has loads more to do if he actually wants to be as successful as he thinks he can be.
