lets put it this way if he cant take a shot Francais will canvas him
Francais is a big man cleverly will not cope with his size and strength IMO not to mention Francais is a decent counter puncher
i agree....big step up and i think its a mistake leaving the Enzo Calzaghe camp especially before what is a big fight for him again boxing politics get involved it cant be good for any fighter to change trainer this close to a big fight even if his new trainer is his dad..
Has he really? I'm surprised. He had the perfect mentor there in Joe Calzaghe. Very surprised he's going up to LHW as well. For a bright kid he's making some dumb moves .... unless he wins of course.

It's a pretty big step up for Cleverly, Francis is a big punching veteran fighter and Cleverly doesn't seem to have the power to hurt Francis, it should be interesting.
