Comments Thread For: Cleverly Smiles: I'd Be Happy To Beat Bellew Again!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Former champion Nathan Cleverly has no problem with giving a rematch to Tony Bellew.

Former light heavyweight world champion Nathan Cleverly says he is ready to beat Tony Bellew again in an eagerly awaited rematch. Bellew lost a twelve round majority decision to Cleverly in October of 2011.

After getting knocked out by Sergey Kovalev earlier this year, Cleverly announced his plan to move up to the cruiserweight division. He will make that jump in February. Bellew, who got knocked out a few weeks ago by Adonis Stevenson, is also planning to move up to cruiserweight - likely in March.

Unfortunately... I don't see them beating any of the CW titlists.

They could make their cW debut against each other...although it'd be kind of pointless IMO...should at least fight veteran cW's to get a feel of the land first

I think either of them (most likely Cleverly) could potentially beat someone like Afolabi in a couple of fights time. It would be a good fight for the UK as well.

Maybe Cleverly over Ola as he could probably outwork him to a decision... but don't know about the others.
Diablo leaving soon.... so he should try and go after it when it's vacated

Never really been impressed with Ola or his skills. I rate him similar close to Bellew. A good fighter but nothing more. Neither are big punches, but both have big hearts.

I think Cleverly would outbox him easily and cruise to a decision. But it depends on how well he adapts to being heavier. Apparently he spars as a CW and he gave Kessler hell in sparring.

I'm looking forward to it.

I don't think either guy fairs to well at Cw.I don't think it has anything to do with the size and the strength of the guys they'll be facing at Cw,I just think they're both extremely limited fighters neither have superior technical prowess,athleticism,or power to compete at the highest level.

I think if Cleverley had Bellews power he would be a force in that division.

Unfortunately he's not a puncher and with the size difference that could stop him becoming 2 weight world champ

I said after they first fought that they should just fight each other for the rest of their careers because neither of them are elite.

Looks like it might come to fruition

Agreed.
