The_budweiser Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Frank Warren on Carl Froch: “Froch lost his title because he can’t defend; he fought Ward and got found out. Come and fight Nathan, step up a weight. I’d make the Froch fight in a heartbeat. If Carl Froch wants it in June, let’s make that. He’s made for Nathan.” Read More: http://ringnews24.com//index.php/boxing-news/37401-quotes-nathan-cleverly-vs-tommy-karpency-press-conference.html#ixzz1jAXLAAo4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshDevilRob Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Be Great at Cardiff City Stadium. There were representatives there from the stadium trying to sell the venue to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before anyone else asks Rob, I've reserved your couch mlol/ If it's Froch i might have to make my way down for it :-). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavpowell Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I think Froch wins this based on current form - Cleverly struggled with Bellew, Froch walked through the domestic level and has only struggled with opponents at the very top level. Having said that, he knows Froch is on the verge of signing a deal with Bute, has had interest from Kessler, Ward I think mooted a rematch. I suspect Warren is relying on Froch being keen to stay at super-middle. Then again, this is the guy who thought David was made for Enzo...

Sheils Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 It would be a good fight. I'd maybe go for Cleverly, with Froch stepping up a weight and coming off his last fight with a comprehensive defeat, it could be Cleverly's opportunity to shine.

brooklynbrawler Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I just don't think Cleverly is good enough yet. He has struggled against really mediocre opponents and has yet to face anyone who is worthy of calling themselves world-class, despite the fact he's apparently a world champion. A win over Braehmer would have really proven something, but it wasn't to be. Froch has beaten immensely better boxers than Cleverly and Nathan also doesn't pack a lot odf power despite being the naturally bigger guy. Froch punches bigger, has more experience and Nathan's speed advantage isn't enough for him to really take advantage imo because he doesn't have the power to back it up.

Aaron Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Carl would beat Clev pretty easily based on Celv's fight with Bellew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimmy Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Froch's experience is actually quite epic compared to Clervery's. He isn't the finished article and it would be too soon. Froch has too much top class experience and Clevery isn't an up and coming Mayweather or a Roy Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshDevilRob Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 With Showtime not wanting a Bute vs Froch fight. Maybe Cleverly is an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavpowell Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Or the rematch with Dirrell. Or Kessler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBride Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Personally I'm not a lover of Froch's style ( not busy enough ) but I admire the guys attitude, and willingness to fight anyone anywhere. I'm not too sure Clev couldn't nick through workrate tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshDevilRob Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Or the rematch with Dirrell. Or Kessler. I can't see either coming to the UK to fight him. Kessler is aiming for Stieglitz then Ward/Bute. Anthony Dirrell is a mandatory contender while nobody knows Andre Dirrells plans even him.

gavpowell Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 You may beright but Froch will go for the Kessler rematch anywhere, I'd have thought - he really did think he won that fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
