If this came off at a catchweight, say 171.5, I think you'd all be surprised at just how competitive it would be, but at 168, Clev probably gets knocked the fuck out.

you have seen Clev fight, haven't you? He moves his hands quick in a shadow boxing motion with no actual force in concerted bursts with barely any angularity. He does this repeatedly for most of the fight, with little other tactic, mainly because its his only asset, big fitness. In training he must worked his ass off twice as hard as his opponent for extra fitness in order to counteract his lack of natural ability.
Firstly, this is not going to hurt Froch for a second. CF is as matchfit as Nath, and those showboxing punches will have no effect except notch up some points in Wales. Secondly, its not going to protect him from when Carl wades in. Either Nath's chin will take him the distance as a human punching bag, or he will get stopped half through fright, or he will get KOed simple.
That's if Nathan ever manned up to take a big fight instead of talking it and fighting a bum instead. Which he never will, all the evidence says he wont.Last edited by DreamFighter; 06-01-2013, 03:49 PM.Comment

Hate Froch because he knows he fights the toughest people possible and still wins. I'd hope I'd feel like a great if I were to do that.Comment

They offered it at a catchweight. This is the first time they've offered it at 168, I haven't heard any reply from Froch as yet.People trash Cleverly but the fact remains that Froch and Eddie Hearn turned down the chance to fight him.
Im not saying it was a duck or Froch was afraid cos god knows I prefer Froch to Cleverley. But they made the offer and Froch's camp declined.
They also agreed to fight Hopkins but Hopkins went another route.
That said, I expect Froch to decline because Hearn is concerned with toppling Warren.Comment

That doesn't make any sense. You're ****ting on him for not fighting anyone but then when he tries to fight big names, you say he doesn't deserve to. Big contradictionSurely that's because an elephant would ignore the challenge of a flea.
If boxing was about what one says one will do then Clev would be king of the world p4p. But buts about what you do in the ring, which roch and Bernard do in spades, whilst Clev slaps at unknowns who cant box.Comment
