Nathan Cleverly VS Ring top 10 ?

[The Monk]

A fight with Murat would be a solid fight for Cleverly's European title. I saw Murat a couple of times when he was the European champ at 168lbs and although he won I was a little bit underwhelmed. It would be a good first defence for Nathan though and would cement his ranking with the major sanctioning bodies. I would predict a mid to late round TKO or a wide UD for Nathan if this fight was made.

Cloud would rip Cleverly apart.

[Jim Jeffries]

Despite recently cracking the ring's top 10, Cleverly is not ready for top 10 opposition just yet, IMO. Give him another year or two, at least.

Same thing with Denis Boytsov, looking good, has improved a ton, but still not ready for world class.
