Comments Thread For: Cleverly Will Consider The Option of Leaving Boxing

[wja1966]

For me his problem is training with his dad. Im not saying his dads a poor trainer but in between rounds he doesnt give much advice and all the sense comes from Dean Powell

He should get a proper trainer someone like Bob Shannon or Gary Lockett and we'll then see the best out of Nathan

It's not that surprising. He has a maths degree, you can't use professional boxing as a "hobby"

This is the issue with today's fighters,1 lose and you want to retire? wow thats a weak mentality.

That british kid needs to rest a few weeks and after that he will be willing to continue. Hes just 26 and can still make some good money with boxing. Kovalev is just a different kind of beast and could verry start to rule the division. i think hes the best right now. Clevery just didnt know who he ****ed with.

He hasn't got a masters degree in maths, he has a 2:2 first degree in maths. Not to be sniffed at but rather different things.

I've been misinformed...thanks for clearing that up

He's done! He should retire and take his creepy fans with him.

[Uncle Rodge]

Champions get back up Nath.

A Desmond Tutu is not bad whilst competing as a pro boxer. Cardiff a good uni too

For Maths its a pretty average university (22nd out of 62)

Agree that its not bad because of the lack of time he wouldve had to actually spend on his degree but financial employers won't care about his boxing career.

I'd still say Euro level boxing and eventually getting a world title of some description (because he is better than 90% of LHW's) would be a better career option.

his problem was he didnt want to be Joe Calzaghe he wanted to step up earlier. If he'd kept fighting bums he'd have a long string of defences pretty soon.


He should aim for a eurobelt or an unwanted IBU and work at that before stepping up again. Going out with nothing will be a burden he carried for the rest of his lifem he'll become the soda pop kid.

Got his ass beat so bad he is going to quit. LOL
