    I'd be interested to see how his body responds to the higher weight.

    Well that seems a bit mad. He's a non-puncher at 175 so good luck with that at 200.

    He's blaming the weight for his loss even though he says he can comfortably make 175. I think he'll be retiring soon.

    Well he started his career at 168 and he couldn't crack an egg in his early fights so they moved him up to 175 and he started stopping decent domestic level fighters. Maybe his power will improve a little. I think he can outbox a few top Cruisers. He has a decent engine on him and it is hardly a thriving division.

    Well, to be fair, he couldn't crack an egg at 175 either. Who did he ever stop? Danny McIntosh? I agree fighters can be stronger moving up in weight but this is a 25lb jump not 7lb. I have no doubt he can beat cruisers but not sure about the top guys.

    He will also take much bigger punches , so will be interesting to see if his chin holds up also.

    I always find it odd when a fighter jumps up out of a weight class that they have been resident in after a destructive loss, without seeking a rematch with their conqueror.

    The psychological aspect must weigh heavily, because, as a heavier fighter, you should not lose to anyone lighter than yourself, but for Nathan it will be strange for him campaigning at CW, knowing that there is a guy in the weight class below that has pulverised him.

    Cleverly is a quality fighter and should stay at light heavy not go up to cruiser weight.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
