    Nathan Cleverly Does have power imo

    Yes ok he doesn't have GGG, Lucas or Sergey esque power. He doesn't stop everyone. But what he does have his power to hurt you and sap you over the rounds.

    Compare him to Paulie(who beat Broner imo), he literraly doesn't even have sap you, but Nathan punches sap you over the rounds.


    IMO Nathan Clverly has underated power.

    He is feather-fisted and doesn't have enough pop to command Kovalevs respect. Tomorrow this biased Brit saga comes to an end.

    I've watched this guy all week and the reality is Cleverly is average at best with below par power. I think all the talk of his chin being so good is way too premature too, this guy was hurt badly by Kuziemski and stunned multiple times by Bellew and some other feather-fisted Euro manhole inspector

    His chins only talked of highly because hes forever getting hit cleanly. Hell the guy is yet to even face a puncher.

      Well he punches his weight and is a decent sized light-heay. But I think he will have to do it the hard way more often than not.

      I can't really imagine him putting away any of the other top light-heavies that's not say he could beat some of them.

      Not 100% on Kovalev as I don't know enough about him (and people are bigging him up to the skies) but I'd pick Clev over Adonis Stevenson and Cloud.

          People who say he's "feather fisted" are ******s who make lazy comparisons to Joe Calzaghe. Cleverly is a sharp puncher, he's not a brutal hitter who's going to knock you out with one shot but he's fast and sharp. He probably won't knock out many at elite level but he's a solid enough puncher.

            I don't find him all that convincing.

                  I have a thread offering 2/1, will do 2/1 if you want it. I can't do 3/1 just its a bit unfair to the others.
