Bellew's inferiority complex with Cleverley

[erics44]

I highly doubt Bellew made more money with Cleverly, in front of one man and a dog on BoxNation, than against Stevenson with the might of HBO backing it.

Cleverly couldn't even fill 3000 seaters in Wales as "world" champ. That's why the Bellew fight happend in Liverpool.

Either way, after they both got exposed against the "elite" a rematch is just about the best option for both.

yeah he could well have made more out of stevenson

as exposed usually means - turned out to be rubbish - saying they were exposed is harsh, stevenson and kolorev look like very good fighters

stevenson KOed whats-his-face in round 1 a couple of fights before, and battered cloud, I dont think you would say the two of them were exposed?

"Exposed against the elite"

They're both top level fighters but not "elite" level. If they were they wouldn't have both been totally pulverised inside 6 rounds and then dived straight out of the division.

yeah but Exposed against the Elite is like a contradiction in its self, either that or its a very negative way of viewing a fighter who climbs the ladder and fails on the final step

thats not exactly exposed

if i said i was a fantastic ladder climber and only got half way people could say i had been exposed for what i really was

if i said i was a fantastic ladder climber and got one step from the top, people would say ooof unlucky fella you almost made it
