Shumenov [wba champ] Cloud [ibf champ] Dawson [wbc champ] Hopkins [diposed ring champ] Pascal [diposed wbc ex champ] The two American belts holders Dawson and Cloud not next for Clev perhaps but down the line, they wont want to travel and the money risk reward wont be there for Clev to travel, but after one more fight Clev might be attractive and a name ? . Shumenov good winnable fight for Clev to make him a two belt holder which will possibly make Cloud and Dawson interested. Hopkins, an interesting one as i dont think Hopkins would have looked at Clev if he had beaten Dawson, perhaps he would have gone for Cloud two Americans but now Clev has something that Hopkins doesnt and thats a version of a world title, perhaps Hopkins views Clev as a winnable fight. Pascal without a title. I would like to see Clev take on Shumenov, Hopkins or Pascal next all fights Clev can win and then he can go for Dawson or Cloud. But knowing boxing politics, who knows who his next few fights will be. Hopkins at the Millenium Stadium would be interesting.
shumenov makes most sense, however if i was fwank id almost fancy getting bellew a shot at the beatable shumenov and having a unification grudge match rematch down the line
Bellew needs 2 more fights,top euro-world top 15,before mixing it with the big boys.clev will be beaten in his next fight.
As FW is in charge I'd imagine WBO 'house specials' such as Andrezj Fonfara, Soulan Pownceby or Braimah Kamoho were more likely to be on the menu.
Yusef Mack or Campillo. Take on someone that has been in with the other champions. It will help smoke them out.
I'd make the Shumenov fight in a heart beat. Very winnable fight for Clev. Shumenov is very ordinary.
