Comments Thread For: Hearn To Warren: Froch Had No Interest in Cleverly Bout

[D-MiZe]

Froch-Cleverly would have been far better than Yusaf Mack. Froch could have become a 2 weight champion with a win over a Top LHW.

Apparently SMW Thomas Oosthuizen's camp tried hard to get a fight at LHW with Cleverly but were turned down, this according to his promoter Rodney Berman.

Does anyone really have interest in this fight?

everyone's ducking cleverly. he has demonstrated his greatness against countless number of bums.

Though Mack is no world beater, Clev is only a belt holder because the guy who previously held the belt was a nutcase who spent more time in court than in the ring and made a habit of not turning up for fights.

Maybe I'm in the minority but I find all of this 'he should've gone for it to be a two weight world champ' stuff ridiculous. NC has not beaten a world champion, and has not beaten any top 10 fighter. Most had him losing to Bellew. Winning a belt off of a 'champion' like that is not a big accomplishment.
