Comments Thread For: Hopkins vs. Cleverly Clash Eyed For July Date in London?

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

BOXING'S Peter Pan Bernard Hopkins is ready to fight Welshman Nathan Cleverly in London this July.

Hopkins - the fight game's oldest ever world champion at 48 - wants a world title unification fight with rival champ Cleverly above any other.

But WBO champion Cleverly, 26, must first get through unscathed against German Robin Krasniqi at Wembley on April 20.

As a Brit, I'll be pulling for Nathan in this one, but I thoroughly expect Hopkins to outclass and embarrass him. Nathan is going to look very limited and one dimensional in there.

Clev sucks.

Hopkins will come over, make him look like an amateur and leave as a unified champ....at age 48.

Nathan will put up a good fight, his work rate alone could cause B-Hop problems but how many times have we seen Hopkins making guys fight his fight instead of the other way round.

hopkins schools him

Nice. Would be tempted to go to this.

You have got to appreciate Hopkins but I have wanted his opponent to beat him in every fight he has ever had.

I don't mind Clev but he is pretty much the definition of a paper champion at the moment. But that's Warren's fault.

I would be completely neutral on this, tbh. But it would be a good event!

Hope it happens. B-Hop shuts him down.

It's not impossible that Cleverly could outwork this version of Hopkins, but he really hasn't had the experience to fight ANY world champion, let alone someone at this level. His best comp is Tony Bellew.
