Comments Thread For: Cleverly Wants All of The Gold at Light Heavyweight

[illmaticfighter]

guys like this don't understand fighting soft opposition only hurts you when it's time to face someone can really fight.

Because he has been calling out Shumenov and Hopkins for years and ends up fighting, literally, a nurse.

He's fighting who ever they're putting in front of him that 'nurse' was his mando you want to see him get stripped? Funny how it's only Cleverly calling these guys out and not the other way around, it's not like he's ducking anyone.

Nathan's never claimed to be a world beater he's always said he wants to test himself against the likes of Hopkins to see if he's an elite fighter or just another world champion.

His time will come, I'm sure he'll be in a meaningful fight by the end of this year so we'll get a better understanding of his capability by then.

Karpency was not his mandatory at all.

His choice of opponents are indefensible actually bordering on embarrassing.

Mohammedi, Kuziemski, Hawk, Karpency, Krasniqi .

i couldve sworn he said he was gonna unify on 2012. And 2011.

The LHW division isnt exactly stacked with world class fighters. He could at least fight someone in the top 10.

This. He might as well start mixing it up with some of the top guys in the division and see how he fairs. Bernard will definitely fight him if he's serious.

I thought you were referring to Krasniqi.

Anyway Mohammedi was for the interim WBO belt, Kuziemski came about after both Brahmer and Bellew dropped out. Hawk was another late replacement for Ryan Coyne who was having promotional issues and Kransiqi was his mando.

Like I said he's fought and beat anyone they've put in front of him. He stopped an unbeaten Murat who's facing B-Hop in July. The division isn't exactly stacked but Nathan wants to fight the best. Wait until he goes up against one of the elites before you put the kid on blast.

I blame Warren for him not getting the big fights already but he's been inactive with injuries and other reasons so it's only logical he stays active before he takes a big fight later in the year.

Kransiqi was ranked number one by the WBO, Murat was ranked top 5 when they fought, Bellew is ranked number one by the WBC, Coyne was ranked top 5 by WBA before that fight fell through. Brahemer is also ranked top 2 by the WBO who could fight Nathan in July on the B-Hop undercard. I don't see the point you're trying to make Cleverly has fought ranked opposition for a number of years now.

yeah i wasnt on about top 10 in the alphabet bodies rankings. Murat was a decent opponent. Bellow was a good domestic fight. The rest have been a bit ****

Well you said it yourself the division isn't exactly stacked. Is that Cleverly's fault? Obviously not. All he can do is beat the guys they put in front of him until he gets a shot at the elite guys.

Like I've already said he's not going around saying he's a world beater and is curious himself to see how he does against the elite guys but he's saying the right things and is looking for the big fights and I genuinely believe he's not far off from getting his shot. But as I've said before I've noticed that he gets a lot hate on NSB for things that are out of his control.

Cleverly is not just a bad broken record but a straight up liar. He only calls people out in the press, behind the scenes as everyone can tell now, he does not want to unify! The Shumenov camp sent them for the last and final time in November of 2012 a letter of intent to sign and as expected, THEY RAN AND DISAPPEARED! They won't deal with them anymore as Warren and Cleverly have shown to be full of crap and liars. No one pays attention to what he says in the media anymore as he has proven time and again that he is a hypocrite! Everyone knows that you can get an exempt to fight your mandatory to unify so he obviously thinks everyone is ****** that listens to his straight up bs and lies!
