    I like cleverly, but he showed no heart in that fight against a bum like bellew. i dont like calling boxers bums, but bellew fits that title. he was shocking, how can you not finish a man laying on the ropes for 4 rounds? A travesty. LHW cleverly has a decent resume, but will he want to go back there? he wont want to face beterbiev or stevenson either.

    At LHW he has some good wins

    Bellew(He hurt Adonis at times)
    TKO Murat(He gives Hopkins trouble)
    Karpency (He just beat CD)

    Clev has an outstanding chin.
    Kovalev stopped him by smacking him in his head for 6 minutes.
    Even after the fight he was still aware, and standing.
    He wasn't knocked out cold like most of Kov's opponents.
    Vs Adonis - I think Clev beats him(Fonfara give him trouble, Clev will)
    vs Hopkins - Too fast
    Vs Beterbiev - unproven at this level, he has power but he lacks speed. Clev may outbox him at range

    All fights I want to see.

    Not sure why you dismiss Clev as some Bum after Kov destroyed him and he tried his luck at a bigger weight.
    He's still young.
    If Amir can come back to prominance, I've no doubt clev can.

    Id dont dimiss cleverly as a bum man, read what i said. bellew is a bum, so losing against him is no good. He may have a good chin but he doesnt punch hard enough to keep A beast like beterbiev off him. He may beat hopkins, although im not sure, and stevenson is actually quicker than cleverly and rangier despite the height. your overating cleverly.

    He fights like his mentor Joe Calzaghe.
    Did Sir Joe have power?


    He just overwhelmed people with speed.
    In and out.

    Adonis is a knock-out artist, vs a decent boxer with a chin he'll lose over 12rds
    That's why I think Clev beats him.
    Bellew tried to knock out Adonis, Clev will just outbox him.

    Clev beats the Hopkins what just faced Kovalev.
    Beterbiev is an animal no doubt, I think Clev could Lacy him.
    Beterbiev looks sluggish at this weight.
    Powerful, but sluggish.

    Pascal wouldn't knock-out Clev.
    He's not a better boxer than him neither.

    I said he fights like him.

    I never put him in his class.
