Clevs next Opp.... Empty Clevs next Opp....

Post by Seanusarrilius Mon 16 Jul 2012, 1:36 pm

Warren alluded to it being a level of opp the fans would appreciate.

For me that can mean onyl two possible's

Shumenov or Bhop

How does he do against these??

Shumenov - I would have Clev points bet on before you could say Nurse!

Bhop - Would, IMO, still maul him. People compare Clev's workrate to Calzaghe's, but Calzaghe was leagues above Clev talent wise.

So, I am guessing Shumenov

Thoughts?

Probably be a former world champion (belt holder). Step forward Dennis Andries.

Former mandatory Sukhotsky has just lost, so it will probably be him.

No reason to think it'll be either. Saw him on twitter suggesting it'll be big news but all Clev's career has indicated so far is big anti-climax. I reckon it'll be Bellew, which is a step up from his last outing at least Would agree with your assessments of how both those fights in the OP would go tho.

Unfortunately I think Clev is more interested in challenging himself than his promoter and Franks holding him back.

Warren's and Clevs definition of a step up is normally at odds with everyone elses. I reckon once the opponent is named, boxing rec will have lots more searches going through it while everyone tries to find out who he / she / it is!!

Defo not Bellew Tophat. Tony confirmed that via twitter to me the other day. Unless he is being coy.

Warren said fans will be really pleased. For me that can only mean Bellew, Shumenov or Bhop and I don't think it will be Bhop.

Probably a former name at SMW.

Would be happy with Shumenov but doubt it more likely Manfredo Jr!

B-Hop gets nothing from this fight what so ever albeit there is a belt involved.

I would be happy with Shumenov as well. A legitimate opponent in my eyes for a unified title. But would LMAO if it turns out to be Manfredo Jr. You can hear Frank behind closed doors now "We sold him as a legimate opponent before and they bought it. We can do again!!"

Maccarinelli is possible, since the last time Enzo fought I've changed my mind as to who will win. Enzo is being put down by jabs nowadays.

It could be Jurgen Braehmer he had a fight booked which has been cancelled for reasons no one seems to know.

The ridiculous thing about the Shumenov fight would be its a unification fight between 2 fighters without a World class win between them.

And that would be the same thing after they fought, too
