Paul Williams - I know he said hes going to move down in weight but no mention of which weight and who the likely opponent will be. Joshus Clottey - Was suppose to fight on the undercard of Cotto/Mayorga but pulled out. No clue when his next scheduled fight is going to be but no doubt it's not going to be someone that actually poses a threat. Tavoris Cloud - Wasnt he and Dawson suppose to fight each other with the winner facing Hopkins/Pascal II? Now that Dawson is set to fight Diaconu where does that leave Cloud? Pong Wonjongkam - His last legitmate fight was over 6 months ago. Is he planning on taking on someone that has more than 1 win other than his mandatory this year? Troy Ross - Won the event against cunningham but lost the fight but since then hes been very low key with only having 1 useless stay busy fight almost 6 months ago. Andrew Kotelnik - Its been 8 months since his controversial loss with Alexander. He signed with Don King in order to get some fights and HBO has sort of promised to make him return but no fight schedule or any talks whatsoever. Now that Alexander still has a guranteed HBO date how about killing 2 birds with one stone have these two fighters rematch each other. Jorge Linares - This guy has been managed quite well right after his TKO loss with wins over Juarez and Chavez but its as if his comeback has suddenly stopped. No fight since October and nothing lined up. This was one of GBP's highly celebrated propects but now it looks like they gave up on him, sort of like they are doing with Victor Ortiz right now. Is this a new GBP policy now..."We only care about you until you lose"
Absolutely and I dont want to see Alexander on HBO or any other big network again unless it's a Kotelnik rematch.
Yusaf Mack beat otis griffin in a eliminator bout so he is the number 1 contender for clouds strap maybe that'll be scheduled next
Thats a good stay busy fight for Cloud while he waits for Pascal,Dawson and Hopkins sort themselves out.
I've been waiting for Linares' next fight, but nothing is happening.. I don't know if he's being mishandled by his promoters or if he just doesn't care about fighting right now.. A couple of times, they had a return date for him on boxrec, but ended up scrapping them.. It would be nice to see him fight Humberto Soto, which I think would be a great fight, but he would need a tune up seeing as how he's been inactive lately..
