    one englishman fully behind cleverley here. am also surprised at the negativity cleverley generates on here and also how he's just not rated. to my untutored eye he's far better boxer and prospect than bellew. and despite being welsh at least he's not scouse:yep

    I don't dislike Cleverly as such but I do think he's a bit stuck up his own arsehole plus listening to Basshunter? what the **** is that all about, shocking music.

    Tony just appears to be much more real...when he said that he wasn't nowhere near ready for Hopkins but cleverly thinks he is...went way up in my estimation...Cleverly had to then back down and say he wasn't ready too! lol I bet Frank wasn't happy lol as it's cost him a few immediate million in lost promotions! lol

    I just worry that it's a couple of fights too soon for Tony..I hope I'm wrong and he steps up...if he connects then it certainly is goodnight for Clev.

    WAR BOMBER!!

    Bull****. They are both good guys, nothing to dislike about either of them.

    Every popular Brit boxer is either smug, arrogant, delusional, overrated or something along those lines.

    :good

    Let me tell you something about Nathan - he gives up loads of his time to plenty of charity events and turns up to support all sorts of causes that he's been asked to, no matter how big or how small. He is one of the most obliging guys I know in the sport.

    The man is solid gold who goes well out of his way time and time again, even to the "little things" nobody else seems to care about (such as the recent W.E.B convention even though he had sparring scheduled later on that day).
    Never turns down a photo or an autograph. He was one of the special guests at my party last year and I think he gave everyone in the entire place an autorgaph and/or photo, nobody was left disappointed.

    Just because he doesn't spill his guts in interviews about how "down to earth" or "real" he is, and just keeps it strictly business, doesn't make him a bad fella. He's sound. Very genuine. One of the sport's good guys is Clev.

    Everything you say might be true but I dont dislike him, I honestly hate him

    First, he fights in an ugly looking stance & throws lots of arrrrrm punches

    He wears a bandana

    I find him smug, annoying & his Dad is worse

    Has never beaten a reigning champion at any level, not one, yet has won 3 belts & is now world champion

    His maths degree is constantly mentioned but he didnt get a 1st at Oxford or do ground breaking research

    Come on the bomber :bbb

    Sounds a great reason to 'hate' someone.

    :patsch
