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

[Bushbaby]

If he gets say 3-4 good/solid wins and the Canelo/Trout winner, and Hopkins gets Cleverly and that's it. I don't know....

Like I said, if floyd doesn't fight the winner of Trout/canelo and someone like Martinez he's not catching him.

crowds are very important in fights. the crowd in hopkins-calzaghe gave calzaghe 3-4 rounds alone just for screaming at misses.

I always said the crowd weren't screaming because they though Slapsie was landing... they were just excited because of the possibility of a fight breaking out.

Fortunately Hopkins was on hand to ensure one never did.

If Hopkins unifies dis ole thang, he will have put himself so far out of reach of those other 2 atg's already so far behind him they might as well goone ahead and retire.

By "unifies", do you just mean two belts?

B-Hop will ruin that kid like he did Pavlik

I dunno where people get such comparisons from... while I DO think Bore Hard will Hopkinate Cleverly, Cleverly is a volume puncher, whereas Moby was a straight lines power puncher.

Cleverly's strength in this fight will be his weakness as well he seems naive enough to just go out there and let his hands go no matter what the consequences even if he catches hard right counters in return which he will there is a chance Bernard could get a stoppage but that could make it a faster pace than Hopkins wants or can handle most guys who fight Hopkins get into the thinking game and wait/wait and then it's too late but that's certainly not Clev he don't think he throws and that's what he has to do to win.

I like Cleverly a lot and have been really impressed with what I've seen so far from him.

But I don't think he's ready for Hopkins right now
