Nathan Clevery's dream fight with Bernard Hopkins in danger - Wales Online
One guy has the respect of the entire boxing world, is fighting in a PPV event, in a 20,000 seat sold out venue and being screened live on HBO.
The other guy has never faced a single fighter that has fought for a "world" title and fights in front of one man and his dog.
I wonder who Hopkins would make more dough against?
Hopkins would call out Mary Poppins, if it got him more money.!;DQuote:

I think Hopkins style wise would stand a better chance of beating Froch as Cleverly has what it takes to beat Hopkins which is a high work rate and fast hands. Froch can be out boxed as Ward has shown, so Bernard is being cute with his choice of opponent.
Hopkins doesn't want to fight Ward right now because he knows he can't win. That is why he's stated he could never fight him and admires him and alll this. Its a bit of a SRL mind fuck like he pulled before facing Hagler, the infamous "But...it'll never happen" speech.Quote:
