Ward is a tougher assignment than Cleverly. Oi hold on a minute now: Cleverly is the biggest joke at LHW. There aint no bigger joke than Nathan Cleverly at LHW, he been fighting male nurses, and was lucky to get the decision vs Bellew.
I actually read an interview where Cleverly was saying how the fight with Hopkins could still happen soon but that there's always 'the future' for a fight with Dawson. Clev wants no part of Dawson.
Soulja, with all due respect, fighting and beating male nurses is more credible than losing to off-duty Haitian policemen. :deal
Cleverly don't want any piece of Dawson, he'll get outboxed to a wide UD. Cleverly is only really calling out Hopkins and Enzo Macc these days..........
in all sincerity, i think theres a case of the ghost of joe calzaghe haunting all of these american hype jobs. when dawson see's cleverly, he see's the rebirth of calzaghe - he see's a welsh sensation with phenominal fitness and drive - a WBO champion who has cleaned up his domestic scene - a fighter who has had little exposure in america and what would result in a high danger / low reward fight for him when dawson looks at clev, he not only see's clev, he see's the ghost of calzaghe . . . . . and that combined = no blueprint 70 wins 0 defeats 0 draws dawson knows that calzaghe smashed to smitherines every overated yank in his path in brewer, mitchell, lacy, hopkins, and jones etc and his mental demons are probably getting in the way of making the cleverly fight. dawson knows what happenned to him the last time he stopped fighting his long run of overated pensioners (tarver, johnson, hopkins) and took on a decent young gun in pascal, and deep down dawson will realise that cleverly will emerge as a far superior fighter to pascal. i think when dawson see's ward, he see's a mirror image of himself before he lost to pascal - an overated american hypejob that had huge exposure for dominating a very weak division. by exposing the overated ward, dawson knows he will receive far greater credit in the US than he would for taking on in reality what would be a much greater challenge in cleverly.
Absolutely scintillating, spell-binding analysis from a poster at the peak of their mercurial powers. Salutations on what equates to boxing forum poetry HEAD'. Everything you have written is entirely irrefutable. :deal As Cleverly himself states on his Twitter feed: "The superior man is modest in his speech but exceeds with his actions." http://twitter.com/NathanClev Cleverly's actions speak louder than words. Like a stealth jet, he goes about his business quietly, but efficiently, and with devastatingly violent consequences. Dawson knows this, hence the duck.
dawson was already exposed prior to pascal by ageing gatekeeper glen johnson. cleverly's workrate and constant pressure would decimate dawson. mark my words GJE, clev will clear up the 175 division in the next 5 years :deal
I agree HEAD'. Then the revisionists will come out the woodwork and say that Dawson etc were hypejobs anyway. It's the way of the world unfortunately. :-verysad:dead:barf:tired
Cleverly ducked Robin Krasniqi pulling out with a so called viral infection. Maybe he should have pulled out of the ***** that gave it to him.
