Nathan Cleverly - what a fighter

[HattonTheHammer]

To be honest when sky decided to headline a 20 year old uni student who had only had 13 pro fights i had my doubts i really did but having seen his last 3 outings cleverly does indeed seem to be the real deal.

Not gonna start proclaiming him to be the next british star as he has to refine his technique and we need to see him in with genuine class.

But his blowing away mandatory challengers in 2/3 rounds and his actual style is very carl froch like.

Would be genuinely surprised if nathan doesnt become a world champ within the next 24 months!!

I agree, i think along with Kell Brook he is our hope for the future. I think we could possibly see a crossroads fight between him and Clinton Woods in the next 12 months, if Woods does get another world title shot and if he does most proabably loose i can see a nice domestic dust up between the two.

Yeah thats my opinion. I can honestly see Brook and Cleverly with world titles.

He certainly does look good but I'd prefer him to be brought along a bit slower than a world title in the next 24 months. I'd like to see him fight for the EU title within the next 24 onths, really learn his trade well, then dominate at world level for years.

Also, does anyone know if he's found a full time replacement for enzo calzaghe as his trainer yet? Or is he still using his dad?

Would like to see him in with Jimmy Tibbs- doubt he'll leave wales though.

I didn't think he looked much cop against Joey Vegas but he's improved since then. Good win over Oakey but his last three opponents have been a proper padding job. Boyle is a parttimer and the two Africans were useless. It looks like he can punch but before that he looked a powderpuff hitter, which I think is nearer the truth.

I certainly don't think he's as good as you guys think. I'll be surprised if he gets to genuine world class (FW fiddling him a vacant WBO title don't count ).

You're kidding right? The WBO are letting Erdei keep that title in Germany or Hungary to defend against the 50th ranked challenger.
