Comments Thread For: Cleverly Pushes Back His Return For Third Time

[yoz]

Kovalev stopped him in 3 rounds, it's not like he got beat up.

My guess is that he's having second thoughts about Cruiserweight and can't carry the weight properly. It always seemed like a ****** move to me. He should have worked his way to a mandatory shot at Shumenov or Hopkins at LHW.

This seems probable. ^.

Cleverly has fired his father as his trainer and has hired.....guess who?

The clue is that he's pulled out of 3 fights already.....

Couldn't get anymore painstakingly obvious could it...! Booth is to injuries like flies are to shit.

I think Cleverly may announce his retirement. I'm not sure Nathan is fully committed to staying in the sweet science.

I think he and Dawson would make a good fight right about now.

These recent pullouts can only mean that Adam Booth took over as his trainer after the Kovalev fight.

Booth is such a joke that he can't even be used as a credible punchline anymore.

I was a big fan am still a fan of Nathan - I thought he was going to be Champ for a long time and one of the few who thought he would beat Kovalev, but I think this loss has broken Nathan now and am wondering if he is physiological ready to carry on, his young and these cancellations have effected him more than he cares to admit.
