Who should Shaun George fight next?

[KING •]

Being that Glen Johnson doesn't want it and already gave George the duck who is next on the menu for Shaun George?

How did Johnson already duck a guy who was an unknown just 48 hours ago? I'm sure Glen Johnson is looking for someone with a title he can win. George earned himself a meaningful fight, but lets not get carried away.

Glen Johnson may fight him now unless he can get a rematch with Dawson, he is still the number 1 ranked WBC challenger.

The fight was previously offered...

Johnson rejected it...

Said George didn't sell enough PPV's in his last outing...

No bandwagon...

I just want the opinion of the forum on what who his next match should be against...

From what I understand, here is how the Glen Johnson ducking Shaun George issue came about. Last year Glen Johnson had his fight fall out in Mississippi with Reggie Johnson, who was coming off off like 1 fight in the last 5 years or so. Hall of Fame Promotions contacted Warrior's Boxing and offered to put Shaun George in the fight on short notice. Warrior's accepted George as an opponent but Johnson's team turned him down. They had to scrap the entire show because of that.

Then later in the year in November, Glen Johnson had his fight fall apart against Anthony Hanshaw when Hanshaw was way off weight. Hall of Fame once again offered Shaun George to come in on short notice and Warrior's once more accepted George as an opponent. Johnson once again said he wasn't interested, despite Shaun George calling him out in press releases.

What does George have that would make Johnson be interested? Before saturday, he was a no name that was known for being stopped in the first round by Matt Godfrey at cruiserweight. Hanshaw and Reggie Johnson both are at least big enough names to make some decent money by and set up something big down the line. Beaing George at the time would no significance and there would be no point. Look at Johnsons last fights, all big names opponents.

He gave a great account of himself, but at that point when George was tentatively scheduled to fight Johnson, he was fighting guys like Fred Moore and Hugo Pineda. George was a high risk/low reward fight. It was a bit interesting considering that most people ducked Glen Johnson for the same reason.
