    Seems like Kovalev's team want to fight a 50 year old instead. No doubt Cleverly will be criticised for fighting another bum despite the fact that nobody will step up and fight him.

      This isn't to say that Kovalev isn't a good boxer. He has tremendous promise, but he needs to beat somebody relevant before I get on the bandwagon.
      Well That's pretty silly not rating Campillo when he beat quality opponents but was robbed. He kicked Shumanov's ass, beat down Tavoris Cloud and beat Murat (but robbed against all three! ).

        So you criticize Kovalev for being untested but then laugh at the idea of him taking on one of the most accomplished fighters of all time?

          Campillo beat Murat, shumenov and cloud and should have been the WBA and IBF champ when he fought kovalev. You might not rate him but he was clearly the top LHW behind Hopkins and Dawson.

            maybe In fantasy land. Campillo was already proved his worth but I'm 98% sure you've never actually seen him fight, especially his robberies

              You can see his skills in the ring. Uses distance well and throws great combos and has good footwork.

              His high work rate while using his range is a tough style match-up for the old legend. Its what gave him issues with Cal and Dawson. Cloud smothered himself and fought in ineffective spurts.

              That why I favor Kovalev over Hopkins and his power would give Cleverly hell. Probably lay out Nathan.

                But Bellew came off the floor to beat Bob Ajisafe and Ovill Mckenzie. Lets call it a draw.

                  Campillo is good but he didn't even come to win the Kovalev fight.

                    LMAO you can't be serious m8. The same 50 yo that Cleverly's been using after every fight for the past 3 years "Hopkins is next, Hopkins is next, blah blah blah" Cleverly actually thinks that beating Hopkins at this stage means he'll become an ATG, Kovalev at least has the excuse that he's getting a title shot. WTF?

                      All I get from this is that Cleverly fans are shook.

                      Kovalev fought bums lol & there is Nathan fighting murderers row; Tommy Karpency, Shawn Hawk, Mohammedi

                      Its funny how they big up Karo Murat, they must not of seen Campillo get not one but two bull**** decisions against Murat in his hometown.
