Will Cleverly be bigger than Calzaghe?

    Nathan has everyone going for him. He has all the domestic belts and a British/Euro defence v Bellew or Mckenzie would give him the lonsdale belt for keeps.

    He will get his maths degree this year then the world is his oyster. He is comfortable at the weight and therefore I see him winning and unifying. Then entering the P4P list.

    He needs 2 more defense's of the Lonsdale to keep it outright there's no point in him doing that because apart from Tony there are no opponents that would be worth him facing. He should look at defending the European now hope to see him out in around May surely it's time he had a fight in Wales.

    Calzaghe had a great style, proper individual.

    When opponents looked to spar for him they had trouble.

    He could adjust to different styles

    I doubt it but it's very early days to make predictions.

    I like what I've seen so far and hope he keeps it up. He seems like a top bloke also.

    No I don't think so, nor should he try to be. He has to move in his own way... his record at this stage is far more impressive then Calzaghe's at the same point... that said Calzaghe is far better IMO.

    Im not sure. People keep saying his divisions not the same as it was, and people like Hopkins are getting older, but theres people like Dawson, Pascal and Cloud coming through, its actually a very difficult weightclass full of prospects. Plus Hopkins and Johnson could probably fight for a while yet knowing them. I like Cleverley, he has cleaned out domestically, but should take his time, learn his trade at European level and get more experience before hitting the world stage.
