...He can counter punch. He is very versatile, can brawl or counter punch. I always look out for this in prospects, I don't even mean counter punch while throwing at the same time and using distance , he can make you miss and then hit you a split second later like the Mayweather's of the world does.
Very smart fighter.
I think Cleverly gives Pascal, Dawson, and Cloud hell. I honestly don't believe the previously mentioned fighters are on his talent level. In my opinion he is a different class of fighter. What's more amazing is, he has been a part-time pugilist for the last 3 years. Imagine what he is going to be like in a few fights time...an absolute beast.
chad dawson isnt on cleverly's talent level? wtf?
I thought he took far too many unnecessary shots at the weekend. He, inevitably, gets compared to Calzaghe - but, for me, he's more like Hatton. Great workrate, exciting as hell but vulnerable. He'll probably fail against a top class pure boxer like Dawson, but his passage through the sport will be an exciting one.
Far better than Hatton mate, premature to say right now but Hatton could never counter punch.
Watch Cleverly in a few fights and even the Murat fight later on, he can counter punch perfectly should he want or need to. That's what gets me so excited about him.

I loved the fact that after that fight he was back at ringside in minutes to watch the rest of the fights. The guy wasnt even hurt or marked, hes gonna be a beast.
Get him in the ring against Juergen Braehmer. I don't know much about Braehmer but if Mario Veit can muster a win against Braehmer, surely Cleverly can.
Clev has the charisma to inspire the fans.
cool guy...did you see after Murat hit mit clean to the chin? LMO he shook it up and fired back at Murat. :)
Cleverly(His stamina is better, he cuts off the ring great) would beat Pascal(looks tired all the time in his fights like he has asthma) right now. Btw, BHOP is going to school Pascal.
I think Cleverly would beat Pascal right now too, if he can take a good shot he'd win fairly easily.
And yeah, Bhop will beat Jean.
