You can't knock cleverly because he's did quite a bit in one of the hard punching divisions, without actually having a punch.

Kovalev has never fought an undefeated fighter.
Cleverly has beaten 4.

Cleverly has been a world champion nearly 3 years.
Kovalev has never fought for a title worth mentioning.


Kovalev can bang, but cleverly has been in with a few decent punches, none with a record like Kovalevs but is his record blown up? Has he fought pure talent in al l his fights?

I give Cleverly a UD.
