By Lyle Fitzsimmons - Tavoris Cloud understands Chad Dawson’s logic.
Though his shot at the man widely perceived as the world’s best 175-pounder has been two times delayed while Dawson sought pricier quarry, the unbeaten Florida-born slugger bears the incumbent IBO champion no ill will.
And even through clenched teeth, he remains diplomatic.
“I can appreciate what he did to a certain extent, and I don’t see anything wrong with getting paid and going after big-money fights.
“After all, that’s what we’re all in this business for in the first place,” Cloud said.
“But if you’re going to walk around and call yourself the best fighter in a certain division, you at least ought to be fighting everybody out there. Young, strong and unbeaten guys. Or at least guys that in your own age group.”
