Thread: Cleverly fights Vyacheslav Uzelkov because Hopkins and Froch bottle it. Fact.

This highlights everything that is WRONG with boxing. Genuine world champions like Cleverly get disgracefully ducked by old frauds like Hopkins and Froch.

You have to feel sorry for Clev and Frank Warren.

"The main target was American great Bernard Hopkins but after I agreed terms with his promoter Golden Boy, he pulled out. We’ll look to resurrect the fight next year.
IBF world supermiddleweight champion Froch turned down a huge purse to step up a division to take on Cleverly."

Most bizarre statement ever! Froch was literally Begging JC for a fight yet he ducks cleverley! Froch who has fought reid, pascal, taylor, direll, abraham, kessler,johnson, ward and bute is ducking a part time welsh student? Froch has his career path set from here onwards and cleverley is not a part of it...Froch and cleverley is not really a much asked for fight anyway!

Hopkins is done i think, although i still think he'd be a tough ask for anyone. I don't want to watch hopkins fight anymore though. He's cringeworthy at times...

Cleverley needs to get someone like campillio or diaconu, hell even jurgen braehmer under his belt because first. His best win is tony bellew in which he boxed a very mature fight, but both bellew and cleverley are untested (both very talented though) Both need to get a decent win before calling out the likes of froch. Mack is just froch keeping active and his fans happy until the contracted bute rematch...i think bute would beat cleverley and carl certainly would.

So sorry but Cleverley hasn't earned the right to fight any of the big gun's yet...Edison miranda or allan green would garner him a little more attention and he'd beat both but walk before u can run nathan, and get fuckin rid of frank warren!!!

P.S Let's not forget uzelkov did beat tomas adamek so he's not a bad fighter, just not the adamek id have liked though...lol

Cleverly a genuine World champion,

hmm i see.

Give Cleverly time, he had a war with Bellow and will fight the best later on. Although the longer it goes on the more silly he makes himself look.

Stumbled into the WBO title a bit, and he really needs to step up the opposition otherwise he'll start getting dismissed as the next Markus Beyer or Sven Ottke.

Kind of a pointless wind up angle isn't it.... Who cares enough about Cleverly to bite either way on this?

Having said that, it would be refreshing to see him fight say Campillo or even Cloud and either lose his little trinket or actually warrant carrying it. I've never seen Uzelkov though, if he's half decent maybe he'll win and actually want to get in the mix.

read this forum everyday but hardly everpost but had to say this, Fenster you are now on my "cunt list" ,thats up there with frank warren!

If you read this forum every day and believe Fenster is genuine with threads like this then you're probably atop of that list yourself.

Some of you are utterly clueless.

Cleverly worked his guts out to become world champion. Even though he's never beat a champion, or a former champion, he still beat great fighters to get his title - Mo Farahanalaby, Zudin Ambroscustardovic and Jimbo Ivelostmebacci.

They were teak tough fighters that have never been stopped.

Hopkins and Froch should be ashamed for "pricing themselves out" against a champ like Clev. Fact.

Deal with it.

Clearly not.
