I agree, I think Clev's workrate and speed could be too much - needs to improve his defence considerably though

I think his username hints he is from South Wales. Its not even worth debating, really. The Bellew fight, which will happen, will be more competitive.Deserter wrote:jonlcfc1 wrote:jonny wrote:The hopkins/pascal fight was abismal, holding and mauling I found it hard to watch and I will stick my neck out and say Cleverly beats hopkins right now

That would mean you can fight me and beat me to vanquish the JC loss
I'm sure it's just self promo for the moment, he knows or 'should' know that BHOP derails his career if he fights him![[icon_shame.gif] :shame:](./images/smilies/icon_shame.gif)

hopkins got huge credit for beating pavlik. joe would have, also. it could have ben a famous, and brilliant to watch performance. just as the lacy fight was a great showcase that did great things for joe's career and his standing in the sport, pavik could well have done similar.mickey1975 wrote:All Hopkins fights are poor viewing but the fact remains Joe beat him! How can he have upstaged him at LHW when he lost to him? The formline says no. Pascal had lost to Froch, who had lost to Kessler, who lost to Joe, etc.... Pavlik? The less said the better.Autobarn wrote:the win was good on paper but really was horrendous viewing and the fight was a bit close for the british fans/media, some/many of whom did not think joe would get the verdict.mickey1975 wrote:Does the praise Hopkins is getting mean people are finally starting to realise Joe was not bad?
if anything hopkins has upstaged joe at light heavyweight, by getting credit for his performances v pascal, aged 46, and also shutting out pavlik, whom a lot of us wanted to see joe in with.
but calzaghe did beat a legit top 10 "pound for pound" entrant.
yes, calzaghe did beat hopkins, & hopkins twice won light heavy titles, so a good win but uglier than even the ugliest of hopkins fights.
upstaging in that ppl are again wanking off about hopkins.

W@rren will not let Clev anywhere near Hopkins atm.
It will be a WBO crappy contender or 2, some boasting how the guys he will fight are tests etc....the usual W@rren stuff.
Tony Bellew, if his weight isn't hurting too much would be a serious fight for him, but Tony knows his body better than anyone, so...

Re: Clev to Hopkins: If you want Calzaghe revenge, Im right here
you're right bernard would school and possibly end nathans career prematurely if they met right now but nathan is very respectful towards hopkins and his mentioning the "welsh revenge" angle is a nice try. Hopkins probably thinks calzaghe is just a guinea. im sure if hopkins does intend to fight to 50 or even if he just wants to stay relatively active ( well as active as a 46 year old world champ can be what with the wear and tear training takes)......than sure a millenium stadium match in wales with cleverly in front of joe calzaghe and 50,000 others would surely be another great pr scoop for hopkins and another win........the tickets would have to be priced to be given away or have a very strong supporting undercard to sell 50,000 though and even than it might not be able to fill the millenium......anyway imG0mez wrote:Who the hell writes these pressers for Wazza ?
What a load of cack.
Bernie would stand Nathan on his head right now.
exaggerating and thinking out aloud a best case scenario for warren and cleverlyb
but i think nathan would have to put together 3-4 good wins at lh and who the hell is there at lh apart from dawson,johnson and hopkins and pascal who are busy fighting each other. Diaconu, lol warren wouldnt take cleverly to canada for that so i doubt cleverly has any hope

joe is a legend in his own right and so is hopkins. I still beleive hopkins beat xalzaghe and so do many othersmickey1975 wrote:Does the praise Hopkins is getting mean people are finally starting to realise Joe was not bad?
Re: Clev to Hopkins: If you want Calzaghe revenge, Im right here
It would be an embarrassment for these 2 to even share the same ring.
Re: Clev to Hopkins: If you want Calzaghe revenge, Im right here
Saw videos last night that showed a lot of that fight in slow motion, and it made it apparent that Bernard got the best of almost every exchange with Calzaghe.mugabi wrote:joe is a legend in his own right and so is hopkins.
