You are being harsh on Cleverly, Nathan has fought and beat an inspired and dangerous Bellow if a classic war. Bellow is a world class fighter and will challenge for a legitimate title very soon.
You don't normally do sarcasm. I like it.
I was being serious.
Well in that case allow me to retort. What does Nathan Cleverly look like?
Tall welsh guy who has a wbo strap?
Exactamundo!

Bellew has faced one man that's mixed in world-class. That was his last fight against Miranda. The Cleverly-Bellew fight was basically a British title sexed up because the WBO was attached to it.

I don't dislike Cleverly. I dislike the pathetic notion that a man that's never fought a single person that's mixed in world-class can be regarded as "world" champion.

Stating the factual truth is not being "harsh" it's being realistic.
