No way is Bellew better than Mohameddi. I'd say Bellew is possibly the biggest puncher Cleverly's been in with and has a chance of beating Cleverly if Cleverly leaves himself open.
But there is no way he's as good a fighter as Cleverly has been in with. The movement and awkwardness of Mohameddi Bellew would hardly if at all landed a glove on him.
Fry is a far better boxer than Bellew.
McIntosh was possibly the biggest puncher Clev has been in with so far, even Froch said he found him heavy handed when he sparred McIntosh. On the other hand it goes to show that if you give anyone a free swinging shot it can rock you as in Clev's last fight with not a big puncher.
So if Cleverly is ****** and careless Bellew has a shout for sure. Clev has yet to show that kind of maturity.
On the other hand there is a huge leap in ability between McKenzie and Bob A - and Bellew struggled with both in parts - so if Cleverly is disciplined with a good defence it could be a very, very bad night for Bellew where he realises the difference in levels and how it looks a lot easier watching tapes and thinking what you can do than actually being able to do it inside the ropes.
The fact that Cleverly has seen how Bellew's got on with Bob A and McKenzie and actually sparred them himself and decided to take the fight on says plenty to me.Comment
