Gash07 26 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Cleverly to fight Vyacheslav Uzelkov in October. He's getting Canelo-esque in his level of opposition.I'd say Cleverlys opposition is hugely inferior to even Canelos list of easy-outs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdog19 16 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I'd say Cleverlys opposition is hugely inferior to even Canelos list of easy-outs.You're right. Canelo was just the first name that popped into my head though. Cleverly has gone backwards in his level of opponent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blyth 3 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Tony Bellew stops Edison Miranda in the 9th round with an excellent body shot.Fairly cagey fight, with Bellew looking a bit tentative for the first half. Miranda was just his usual self, some wild swinging punches and a lack of workrate. Good name on Bellew's record though, and hopefully a catapult to some bigger fights. He has decent power but is actually quite an underrated boxer too. His jab can be a real weapon! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdog19 16 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Thought Bellew done well, but showed a bit too much respect to Miranda. But he got the job done and has a name on his record.Andre Ward vs. Chad Dawson later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdog19 16 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Struggling to think of opponents for Ward now. He's cleaned out his own division and just beat the top guy at 175. I guess Chavez Jr. is an option when he finally moves up to super-middleweight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wearethemighty 186 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Hatton should stay retired imo. Brooks and Khan would beat him but he'd have destroyed both in his day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillete 1,338 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Who's to say he would get beat off both ?He's been beaten off the 2 best fighters in the last 30 yrs He would destroy khan Brook might be too young and strong but hatton could easily come back with a tune up fight and destroy the division I'd take him to beat Garcia Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now Ricky has had a few years out at that level and added cocaine (if it wasn't already there) & sadly depression to the equation and personally I'd much rather he left it.The toll his physical condition between fights has had on him means he's almost certainly a 'lot older' than his years so I hope it works out but I'd rather he didn't do it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devlin 222 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I fucking love Hatton, it'd rekindle my love of Boxing for sure. Sorry to lower the threads standards but i'm sure i saw a snippet on SSN last week about Andrew Flintoff turning into a pro boxer? Is this true? If so anyone think he'll actually do any good?

The Godfather 71,715 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Hatton was a brawler and a bloody good one at that, but as many have said his lifestyle has made a comeback pretty pointless.The way he treated his body inbetween training for fights was crazy and guys in their late 30's early 40's in boxing will be fitter than Hatton because of it.I'd hate to see fighters Hatton would have beat up destroying him now because he is so far past his best.

Devlin 222 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Flintoff would get his head knocked off.I think he's got his strength and could throw a punch (guesswork) but any pro boxer would out manouvre him and pick him off easily.
