    He wants to fight Dawson if Dawson beats Tarver, but Cloud would probably have to wait another 12 weeks, shouldn't he be busy fighting someone else to prepare for Dawson.

    He just won the IBF title eliminator right ?

    So did Cliton Woods

    So we should see a Woods v Cloud for a shot at Dawson i suppose

    Dawson should have been stripped of the IBF for giving Tarver a rematch.

    Cloud won the right to be IBF mandatory before Dawson even won the title - knowing what the IBF are like taking titles off people.....

    Supposedly Cloud only won the no 2 spot eliminator.
    Woods won the other one or something like that.

    Either way he should def be staying busy, he hasn't fought since Gonzales in August. Even if it's bums rack up the knockouts and try to build up your name

    Cloud needs to fight someone.

    His last fight was Gonzalez and that was last summer.

    A fight w/ Clinton Woods would make sense.

    Cloud has never won a title eliminator, just a contender eliminator. I don't believe the IBF has a mandatory at the moment. Cloud and Woods should be facing off at some point to make the mandatory.

    This guy really looks fantastic I have only seen one of his fights but I am looking forward to seeing him on British TV.

    I heard that he is back in Tallahassee waiting for a fight. He is training at a cheerleading gym right now.

    There are quite a few also rans in the LHW division who Cloud can feast on to build his name and his resume in the boxing world. Elvir Muriqui, Clinton Woods, Chris Henry, Yusef Mack, Daniel Judah so on and so forth.

    Nobody who'll MAKE his resume but enough of a name to give him a boost in terms of fight leverage and what not.

    Feed him to The Road Warrior; that'll tell us if he deserves a title shot:yep


    On a serious note, the kid needs to develop a jab, or he will never beat Dawson.

    That sounds like the thing to do...He should take a tune up or a stay busy fight IMO.
