Hopkins Vs Cleverly,how would it go now?

[Leighton]

Hopkins would school Cleverly and make him look like another crap fighter. Clev does not deserve this fight. He needs to at least take on someone in the lower top ten first.

I think Hopkins would pick him apart. Workrate alone won't beat Hopkins and it's far from the reason Dawson won so handily. Cleverly would get sliced and diced imo.

I think Cleverly obvious has more chance winning against Hopkins than he has fighting Dawson. I do think Hopkins in experienced enough to beat Cleverly though but it could go either way in a tight decision. Hopkins has a way of making fighters fight his pace and even Pascal who throws a lot of punches was fighting at a pace that suited Bernard. I do not think Warren will put the money up now that Hopkins lost, so do not think the fight will be made.

I was thinking about this only the other day, I think Clev struggles.

Hopkins is so tough to fight, not that he has more skills, but he is crafty and one of those fighters no one wants to fight as they know they will be getting headbutts and elbows all night.

On home turf, clev wins a wide UD.

Away from home, it could be tough.


I don't see this fight happening anyway, Clev wants to fight the guy with a belt whose name I have no chance of writing.

There comes a time when every fighter get's old.

Hopkins can't keep on repelling these younger bigger hitting fighters.

Eventually he will break. I think Cleverly will do it.....should they meet

[ElTerribleMorales]

seeing how Cleverly is still a 2nd tier fighter, Hopkins will outbox him and beat him by a lopsided UD

[p4pking]

It's great to pick against Hopkins given his finally losing and all, but at least consider something else when making a prediction. Cleverly is not a top tier fighter, he doesn't have the skills or mentality to beat Hopkins and it wouldn't even be close imo. Given the way people seem to disagree we might have Hopkins next fight in the makings here.
