    I don't know much about the two Europeans at the bottom of that list, but I'd pick everyone else to beat him at the moment.

    Campillo, Braehmer and Erdei aren't on that list but should be IMO. Garay is also a pretty good fighter and another one that I don't think Nathan is quite ready for just yet.

    If I was guiding Cleverley's career, I would put him in there with Jeff Lacy. I think that's a winnable fight against a guy who still has a bit of a name and would be Clev's best opponent so far without being too big a step up.

        I think that Cleverly should fight Ovill McKenzie as he's a decent fighter who can **** and it would help him get closer to keeping the Lonsdale Belt then maybe someone like a Tarver as he's faded and he'd probably stop him but I think Cleverly is not the finished article by a long way yet, he struggled with Fry before he stopped him. Once he gets a plan B when he can't stop them then he'll be there.

          Difficult isn't it?

          You can't keep putting Clev in with domestic fighters he absolutely hammers them. Brancallion was mean't to be a step-up and he got destroyed.

          He needs a name in America. I don't think Lacy's name is worth too much anymore though, the mystique has completely gone and his body is creaking. Clev would stop Lacy really easily, maybe Clegg could be right and that could be a good way of announcing himself to an American audience.

          I think he'd beat Tarver too, he's almost shot.

          Glen Johnson is the acid test. Once Clev goes full-time they could make that fight. If he beats an old but game Glen he is a worldclass fighter, if he doesn't - he isn't.

            But then Johnson is a biiiig risk. I think Glen could prove a harder test than anyone else in that division, apart from maybe Hopkins.

              i agree John,i think johnson is to much for him right now,hes one hell of a tough dude

              i also think Bhop and dawson are to much of a step up for him as of now

              id like to see him beat an american name like tarver or lacy in an impressive fashion to set up a fight with cloud

                Clev beats, Lacy with ease, Cloud i feel he can out think him. Tarver he UD's, Pascal would be tough as would Hopkins but i think he beats them. Johnson is awkward, could go either way, Dawson, believe it or not i think Clev is smarter and tougher, but that has to be 2 or 3 fights down the line so he gets big names and big lights experience, ie a Tarver in Vegas. But i have big hopes for this kid.

                      I think he's a decent prospect, but I also think he should probably defend his European title a few times.

                      I think he'd struggle with several of the top ten. However, I don't really know a lot about Uzelkov and Murat, other than Uzelkov stopped Campillo and that Murat was a sparring partner used by Kessler.
