    He hasn't fought since beating Andy Lee-i was expecting him to get some major fight lined up after having caused the upset..

    Last time I heard he was trying to get a fight with Taylor. I don't know what happen to that.

    Yeah like Mexican said, there was talk of a fight with Taylor, but that's probably past now. I expect to see the Lee rematch.

    I expect him to be completely out boxed by Lee in due course really...

    Vera came into the Lee fight as an "opponent". Trouble is Brian didn't follow the script , and had the audacity to win. This ruins anyone else's plan to use him for fodder. Now he's high risk and low reward. He'll have trouble getting fights now.

    Good post.

    I would pick Lee to beat him 2nd time round though, I think that's a fight that could be easily made if Vera wants it.

    Maybe K9 Bundrage could be persuaded to move up for a fight with Vera.

    I read somewhere that he has no interest in giving Lee a rematch.

    Nah, Cornelius is keeping his weight low, so he can fight at 154 or 147. I've heard Vera might fight Andre Ward.

    When he's turning down offers like $250,000 for a rematch with Lee of course he's going to find it hard to get fights.
