At this point I'd say Woods by close decision.

woods by late stoppage in a very one-sided beating. Or maybe earlier, a la Rico Hoye.

Cleverly is only a baby and hasn't reached his peak, i would say Woods on points but if Cleverly goes onto beat fighters like Campillo, Shumenov, Cloud and Dawson in good fashion then i would favor him.

Yep, im with you on that one, Clev is still learning his trade yet, it'll be a few more years before this can be a good debate.

i think this would be a good fight i think clinton woods is probably the better boxer but i think cleverly has a better engine would sneak it close very close decision.

Yep woods would handle the cleverly we have seen so far.

A shame Clinton really failed to do justice in his 2 biggest fights which say nothing of the mans underrated chin, power, will to win and skill.

I really loved this guys title run and his press conference line to Tarver " you wanna learn some manners pal" is an all time keeper!! :lol:

Woods is a very, very underrated British fighter. He wins this fight comfortably. Too much variety and just the better boxer, all round. He had a good engine, too.

As I say, criminally underrated.

The comma before 'sodomise' kind of makes the sentence read differently... As in, not that Britney, Cheryl et al would be the subjects of the sodomy...

I don't think the talent pool is particularly deep at present. Too me, Tavoris Cloud is like a bigger version of Jeff Lacy, Campillo and Shumenov are no great shakes and the top man, who is brilliant I might add, is old enough to be someone's granddad.

Cleverly to me is a domestic level fighter who has gotten to world class because there's enough weak opposition out there for him to be considered good enough. I think he can beat Shumenov and Cloud etc but wouldn't fancy his chances against Pascal, Dawson or Hopkins.

Likewise, if any of the top super-middles stepped up I think they could have Cleverly's number as well.

But I'll give Nathan his dues. He's a top lad (I used to speak to him regularly when he was a skinny kid making his way on Joe Calzaghe's undercards) and he deserves to make the most of his opportunities.

Britney Spears did Marry Kevin Federline so i would say your chances are probably quiet high, Kim Kardashian also has a bad choice in blokes so you never know.

prob with clinton is he made everything hard work for himself didnt he? I watched him in fights where he was clearly superior and yet he'd let himself get dragged into a dog fight. class act tho, deserved every bit of his success. i was made up when he did hoye and got the verdict over johnson.
