    Comments Thread For: Nathan Cleverly is Hoping Froch Moves Up To Fight Him

    Nathan Cleverly remains hopeful that Carl Froch's fight with Mikkel Kessler tonight can be the springboard to an all-British light-heavyweight showdown.

    Froch will put his IBF super-middleweight belt on the line in tonight's rematch with WBA title-holder Kessler, who beat him by unanimous decision after a memorable battle in Kessler's native Denmark.

    Should Nottingham fighter Froch win and decide to step up a weight division, WBO champion Cleverly would await as a potential opponent.

    And the Welshman told BBC Radio Five Live: "In that super-middleweight division, any one of those guys could potentially move up to the light-heavyweight division, it's only 7lbs difference.

    Why not move down? It's only seven pounds.

      If it's only seven pounds then he should move down. Froch is a multiple world champion and has faced the best in the world, while Cleverly won a shitty belt against poor opposition and has been defending it against bums.

        I've often wondered why getting the top guys at super middle and light heavy together has always been so difficult. Moreso than any other consecutive divisions, outside of the fly and bantamweights, the body types at 168 and 175 seem almost identical. Seems like those guys would be fighting each other all the time.

          168 or 175, Froch will not bother to fight Cleverly. Carl still has higher prospects.

              What's the point of moving up to fight a paper champion like Cleverly?

                  Warren made an offer to Hearn for a fight at 170lbs, Hearn turned it down.
