Nathan Cleverly vs Tony Bellew

[Cotto16]

Just like your thoughts on who you think has the better chin, bigger punch and who is the stronger of the 2?

[markp]

until bellew steps up and fights better opposition, he shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as cleverly. lets not overrate him like jamie moore was on the forum. lets see him have the fights first.

remember watching bellew as a heavyweigh he was very excting had a all action style, i still cant believe he made lightheavyweight, he has tuck alot of weight of his legs they are like tommy hearns, but his chin has so far seemed ok . I was edging towards nathan cleverly a while ago, but now i think bellew will cause a upset

It's a mile off boys.. Im just being honest with you all, While I fully believe I'll beat him I need to show what I can do against the likes of Fry,McIntosh,Ajisafe,Stubbs,McKenzie and anyone else in this domestic division!! Don't matter how much I believe or go on about it!! I gotta prove it!! Cleverly has proven he's better than the domestic scene it's that simple..

Tony have you lost any punching power or strength since you dropped down to lightheavyweight? cause you look very slim at this weight you have a set of legs like tommy hearns

Class reply

Its this type of honesty that`ll get the fans on side. The pantomine bad guy routine has been over played by too many guys before.


Good luck Tony. I wish you all the best for the not too distant future

points to note.... heavyweight in the amateurs is not the same weight division as heavyweight in the pros..far from it !!

Now Tony has cleared it up himself can we stop the obsession with Bellew vs. Cleverley threads. Let him go his own route and I'm sure they will meet down the line when the time is right and when something worthwhile is on the line.

Tony have you lost any punching power or strength since you dropped down to lightheavyweight? cause you look very slim at this weight you have a set of legs like tommy hearns

I feel great when fighting at this weight mate, Im not gonna lie and say I make it easy cos I don't I diet for 8 weeks and train like a mad man for 10 but I know at the end of camp Im always in superb shape and ready to go.. I've gained a lot more speed and am a lot more explosive at this weight also, For that I thank my trainer Arnie as he changed my way of thinking and training since turning over, I also should thank my strength & conditioner Dave Billows at Everton football club, He helps too..
