    Only an absolute monster puncher would knock Cleverly out, his chin is superb.

    I don't rate Cleverly massively, he's decent, has good speed and good jab but lacks power.

      I like Clev but B-Hop would take his soul.

        Go ahead B-Hop...Ruin one more young fighter then retire

        I think B-Hop would school Cleverly, especially with his HORRIBLE DEFENSE and lack of head movement

          Cleverly destroys bhopless. Hopkins is grossly overrated and is a boring bum. Cleverly by annihilation.

            Just move to beat Hopkins

            Clevely just has to move in and out against Hopkins to win an easy fight. Hopkins ain't chasing anyone at 50 years old. Make Hop work those guys don't like to work hard.

                There is no such thing as an easy fight vs Hopkins, no matter who you are or what Hopkins' age is.

                There are a few facts in life, death, taxes, and a young opponent sqeaking by Hopkins in a hard to score split/majority type decision. Or even losing to Hopkins.

                  I'm of the James Toney theory when it comes to Hopkins, he ain't old school he's and old fool. Goes something like this duck his head forward and throws a 1 punch combo "ha ha". Hopkins might of been somewhat great as a late-mid 90's and early 2000's middleweight or whatever. But is just OK at light-heavyweight he's like 4-2 1d 1nc. Basically all Hopkins is doing is holding boxing hostage because of his greedy pockets Ala Floydie girl and giving the fans nothing but absolutely boring fights. Also I give the dude no props for beating small hype job de la hoya and Trinidad who never did nothing at middleweight and were too small for Hopkins to begin with. All it takes to beat hopkins is hand movement because the dude sure doesn't want to fight just stand there at look at his opponent maybe land 8-9 punches and round and do the same **** over and over. Key to beating Hopkins is hand movement ala Jermaine Taylor which Hopkins should be ashamed of and Joe slap happy Calzaghe. I just got to take cleverly over hopkins with ease!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                      Its a 50-50 fight so make it happen.

                      Both guys will struggle to impose themselves but with it happening in America Hopkins has the edge in a close fight. Clev would play into his hands if he came forward with no defence and no power like he did for afew rounds on Saturday. Hop would be made to look amazing even at 48 however If Clev stands off like he did in the 5th or 6th and boxed from range with a quick jab he could shut Hopkins down. When Calzaghes pressure failed to work he resorted to this in and out boxing and it seemed to have Hopkins stumpt.

                      Hope we see it
