    Hopkins would nullify Cleverly. The old man is too smart. Pascal couldn't beat him (arguable twice) and pascal is much faster than Cleverly.

      there's a lot more dynamics involved than speed. . . speed means **** without timing and accuracy, both of which pascal lacks. Pascal has no jab, and doesn't really know how to throw good, solid, straight punches.

      that being said, hopkins will pick cleverly apart.

          Cleverly doesn't have the right tactics for B-Hop. If Nathan tries to go to war with him, he will end up getting messed up.

            Am I the only one who thinks Pascal fights like a poor man's David Haye?

                  weird how he never mentioned how hopkins was low blowed and that's why the ref gave him time to recover. he's pretending like hopkins was hurt and the ref gave him time to recover out of the blue except calzaghe didn't even land anything clean in that moment except the low blow. how can you be close to stopping someone if you aren't even hitting them? oh wait watch most of calzaghe's ko's and you will find the answer. when hopkins holds and takes time for low blows hopkins is a cheater! when calzaghe does the same exact thing vs bika he's adapting!

                    Under Welsh boxing rules, fighters can legally hit eachother in the balls to get their knockouts. If the Hopkins-Calzaghe fight had been in Wales, Calzaghe would've been awarded the KO. Hopkins got saved by hometown rules!
