    I have not seen Shumenov fight, but having watched the Murat v Campillo fight a couple of weeks back felt that Bellew would have beaten either, and note Campillo's fights with Shumenov were close.

    I rate Cloud highly, in time he'll be the man at light-heavy, I think Cloud would stop Tony at this moment in time. I think Bellew could beat Shumenov though, Shumenov was beaten by Campillo, and somehow got the nod. :rasta

    Shumenov and Cloud at this stage, although in a few fights maybe Bellew

    Cleverly beats Shumenov in another war

    Clevers edges Cloud in a decision / could go either way

    That was a step abover british level in all respect. Both men are above european level are fringe world class

    It was much higher than a British title fight, fringe world level fight. To say it is British level is doing both fighters and injustice

    Shumenov ain't all that. He just got a lot of hype cos he was moved very quickly.

    Cloud beats both Clev and Bellew.

    Yusaf Mack would probably beat the pair of them I reckon.

    Bellew would edge out Shumenov but lose to Cloud

    I quite like Mack but I'm not really sure about this. I think fights with both would be good, I could see Cleverly getting a late/sh stoppage with the scorecards quite tight and Bellew definitely holding his own if not beating him. Actually thinking about it, I'd love to see Bellew vs Mack.

    EDIT: In response to the original question, Cloud is as good as Dawson IMO so would be to much for Tony at this point which I'm sure he recognises. Shumenov is actually a fight he could probably win but I don't see the rush for him to target that. There are plenty of fringe world class/gatekeeper types at light heavyweight, 1 of the pluses of the division, who could all give him an excellent fight so I'd like to see him put in with the likes of Gutneckht or Campillo first.

    I think both Cleverly & Bellew are just above European Class! But their not World Class.

    There like the Mathew Macklins of this game.
