In the Cleverly fight it looked like Bellew had thoroughly improved from his last fight. It looked like all that training with Froch paid off. Good speed and power. I think he lost it by about a round but a great performance against a top ten fighter. They have him ranked 14th in the world on boxrec which it looks like he deserves.
I think he should fight either Zsolt Erdei or Karo Murat next.
As far as Cleverly goes I think he should stay away from Bhop or Dawson for the Mo and go for Beibut Shumenov. He needs to improve his technique before he takes on the top four in the devision because if he took them on now, he would lose easily.
I agree that Shumenov would be a good way for Cleverly to go, before having a look at Dawson. I think BHop wouldn't be too bad a match up though, lots of experience and not a massive workrate to cope with.
