Comments Thread For: Cleverly Furious That Bellew Called Him an Alcoholic

NATHAN CLEVERLY has urged the boxing authorities to punish Tony Bellew for his "AA" jibe. Bellew, 31, asked his Welsh rival if "he had been to any AA meetings recently" as they squared off at a heated final news conference in Liverpool yesterday. The Everton-mad cruiserweight then walked off warning Cleverly to "stay off the ale" before fight night even though he later denied he knew it stood for Alcoholics Anonymous.

I doubt Bellew would just make up the AA comments. That would be a bit of a random one. With that being said its below the belt. Many fighters like De La Hoya, Ray Leonard and Ricky Hatton have all had battles with alcohol but are all sober now. Hopefully Clev stays on the straight and narrow and doesn't just head to the bar after the fight.

nah i think bellew is a cruiser, although he seems to be one of those guys who just puts on fat not muscle, cleverly is so bad technique wise, if that was abraham and not murat he fought he would probably have been ko'd. I rekon bellew by points, cant see him koing cleverly.

Both these guys belong at 175. Bellew is just fat at cruiser and even Cleverly is heavier than he needs to be. Obviously getting away from Kovalev and Stevenson played a part, but they don't belong in this division.

Bellew is a real *******. Before his fight against Stevenson, he called him a women-beater and claimed he would avenge all Stevenson's victim. He finally got knock THE **** down, as well.

Clev and Bellew are terrible weak boxers with no chin. two clowns and court jesters better suited for a Monty Python Clown Circus than a boxing ring. In America Cleverly and Bellew would be laughed at and ridiculed as bumbling boobs and idiots. In The UK both of these dimwits are accepted as real boxers. Because the USA has so many great cruiserweights? Can you name any of them?

If you listen to them during the head-to-head, Cleverly basically admits that he WAS in AA.

I loved the first fight, and they have only gotten more bitter since then. I was positive Cleverly would win the first time, but I feel like he's lost a lot more than Bellew at this point. And Tony carries 200 well, but I think Cleverly is a bit undersized at Cruiser. It ought to be interesting.
