You ever think you underrated somebody?

Hope you and family are well bud.

Cheers mate, we're ok. You too I hope.

Ironically old Brahmer probably is better than any of the prime dudes Cleverly beat. Tricky dude, Juergen with a real boxing brain and a style that ages well. I know folk might laugh but the comparision I tend make is like a Euro BHops.

Now I ain't saying Bellew is a great fighter but he did do better for himself than I ever imagined after the fisrt few years of last decade. Mainly though the man just grew on me as a person and a fighter even if he does come from the ass end of the Mersey.

Braehmer is still at the top of his game at 41 so I'd say that the comparison isn't entirely invalid. You're right to consider it Cleverly's best win of the lot. Braehmer is his most successful victim.

Kinda thinking that while I rewatch Bellew stop Makabu......

I have and i will continue to underestimate fighters
Isn’t that the beauty of the sport ?
Always puts a smile on my face when I see one fighter who I didn’t think had the goods , come out and do the total opposite
That’s fughin BOXING

Ha well I ain't sure how much I credit Clev with Juergen throwing his elbow out in a fight he was winning, but the comparison's more stylistic as anything... Juergen ain't no paragon of athleticism but watch how he controls range or smothers to stop guys getting off their shots, keeps 'em turning, ain't wasteful and conserves energy... he ain't a lights out puncher at all but like BHops he's got that sneaky hurtful power that comes from odd angles when he got 'em confused.

Not sure why he never really tried to travel or showed a much ambition against the real top guys although I do know he's been in and out of trouble with the law his entire career and has cited visa issues with fighting in the US.

Juergen is a convicted felon so he probably does have major issues getting a visa. He's the definition of a crafty veteran. He could still win a world title he's maintained himself that well. Sure he showed his goods against Rob Brant when he dominated him.

I felt like Fury had no chance against Klitschko before the fight. After watching Fury against Hammer and Chisora 2 I was sure Wlad would destroy him.

Really? It was those performances that convinced me Fury would win.

Wlad always struggled with boxers who could move (Thompson, Ibragimov etc) and Fury's footwork against Chisora/Hammer was sublime.

I must've underrated Stevenson. He whooped Bellew. Who in turn challenged Usyk. Didn't Bellew say he thought he was going to die in the Stevenson fight?

Honestly, because of Stevenson, I feel like I'm overrating Usyk now.

Superman , his passed and the fact he started floating instead of insisting on bigger fights is just that but Stevenson could fight and he had that fughin laser
That punch sitting ringside , I chit you not , you could feel it
To bad he wasted a bit of his career doing that waiting game which ( oh I’m gonna get chewed for this one ) is a trademark of Al Haymon
Not lying , just reality

I have known Fury since first Chisora fight. His style was always interesting for me, but his low guard made me disbelief he could handle Klitschko. Well, I underestimated his boxing skills..

Let's be honest though, Bellew was absolutely killing himself to make LHW, he looked a like a completely different fighter at CW.
