Nathan Cleverly Eyes a Clinton Woods Showdown

[Edward Hitler]

He's a boxer and he's still filling out, he'll get more power.

He'll be a top LHW in a few years from now. Hopefully fights Woods early next year, then fights some other contenders.

I'd put real money on him being in the Top 3 of the LHW in the next 3/4 years.

Possibly, im not disagreeing with you what im saying is hes looking at world titles in his next fight or 2 and the point im getting at is if you stuck him in with a top LHW like Dawson, Hopkins or even Tarver, Pascal or Jones he gets destroyed. maybe not in 3/4 years as you say but at this moment in time i dont think he would last 12 with any of them. Again tho i wish him all the best just dont see it happening

im not over-looking him,i just disagree with you on how far he will go,but its just opinions
their are definitly touches of calzaghe in there no doubt

Well if you had to pick one fighter from our domestic scene at the moment to go all the way and be one of the best in a division, who would you choose?

[THEDOC]

he could be the LHW's answer too paulie malignaggi-if hes lucky and warren actually lets him fight somebody one day

That's some bull****. He's young and is looking better each fight. And he's doing things the traditional route. He is incomparable to the magic man so I don't see where you're coming from with that. He may not be the next Calzaghe but no need to hate on and up and coming fighter

Yeah, obviously not now - that's suicide.

Give him 3/4 years, until he's 25/26 and he'll be fighting the best in the division. Hopkins, Roy, Johnson and Woods will have probably all retired then. I reckon some will drop from CW and move up from SMW to fill the voids, but none of the quality of Hopkins, Roy and Johnson.

He's got good physical attributes.

if forced too choose it would be him no doubt,although i like kell brook but hes in a very deep division .but i just think its too early too say and i dont see anything that special but its just my opinion

I disagree with you there Hopkins, Johnson and woods will have gone but you know Jones will still be in the ring at 70 thinking hes 25 lol

He'll be 44.

Who's he got left to fight?

For those who are deriding his power, he's stopped his last 5 or 6 opponents. All at championship level, and all since leaving the Calzaghe camp.

I like him. Talented kid, and all the attributes needed to make it. He's pretty much cleaned up domestically now apart from Woods, so it's either face him or move to European and fringe World level.

As for people criticising his comments, if an up and coming kid didn't think he had it in him to rule his division then he has little business being in the business in the first place.
