    How would this play out, robberies aside?
    Cloud just beat Glen Johnson who finally had to pay tribute to his age.
    Erdei outboxed and kinda outfought Giacobbe Fragomeni in his recent fight who isnt much younger than Johnson but also was in some tough fights against the likes of David Haye who was even a bit lucky not to get stopped on cuts when they fought. Cloud is a harder puncher of course but would he be able to adjust himself to Erdeis style or would Erdei be too smart for Cloud?

    Reportedly Cloud jumped out of a possible clash with Erdei the last year at the last minute and prefered to stay inactive.

    I'd love to see it and Erdei is criminally underrated on here.

    i'd probably favour Erdei actually.

    Erdei, a great fighter who has arguably the best LHW resume and as said already, highly underated. The only thing that would concern me now is Erdeis age, but id still pick Erdei over all the other LHWs at this time

    Interesting to read both Campillo and Cloud both backed out of facing Erdei

    It would be an interesting fight but there's no real demand for it, there's other contenders Cloud can face for more money. Erdei also has no promoter, has been inactive and is unlikely to fight again any time soon.

    Erdei is free and looking for fights /paydays also hes still somehow the lineal lhw champ
    I think HBO would buy the fight
    If Kings wants it it could easily be made.
    Hes also WBC #1 ranked contender so he sure is in the picture for title fight not for Clouds IBF strap though but its a bit early to write him off. He fought in the past November. One fight a year isnt that a big deal for someone experienced

    Erdei if you ever watched him is very good and id pick him over the 4 guys who fought on hbo in the last 2 weeks

    If Erdei hasn't faded too much, he'll take it.

    Im glad to see some sense on this page, with most being knowledgable enough to know how good Erdei is
