    Nathan cleverly wants Tavoris Cloud fight?

    Cleverly is 18-0 (8ko's)

    He hasnt really put all his effort into boxing yet as he has still been going to college and partying. He won the Commonwealth lhw title a few months ago , without training. at all.



    Apparently his next fight is for the European light heavyweight title, and after that he wants cloud later in the year.

    Bunce also said Cleverly has sparred over 500 rounds with joe calzaghe.



    At first i thought this was nonsense, then i looked at the rankings

    CHAMPION : Tavoris Cloud United States
    1 NOT RATED
    2 NOT RATED
    3 Nathan Cleverly Wales
    4 Danny Green Australia
    5 Antonio Tarver United States


    So it is feasable then

        think cleverly would be in over his head and would be stopped early. cloud is one of those guys who can win fights with just his power and output, and hes also hard to steal rounds against because his punches are so showy. maybe after a couple of more fights cleverly would be better prepared but right now cloud takes him out in about the 3rd or 4th round in brutal fashion.

          Thats what i think, Cleverly has real potential, but he isnt even fully commited to boxing yet, he needs 2 years of being a full time boxer, instead of just doing it on the side.

            Wait a minute. I thought the winner of the Johnson-Mack fight becomes Cloud's mando. Am I missing something here?

                It's clear Cleverly has potential but later next year is too early for him. If it happens KO in 4. But he'll be the mandatory sometimes next year.

                  Cleverly is very talented.

                  He can beat Tavoris Cloud, but he has to take him very seriously as an opponent and come well-prepared.
