I'd really like to see it.

im pretty big on sillahk too he looks crisp. very rangy and he actually knows how to utilize his height by generating power on straight shots with leverage.

i don't think he's quite ready for either, though. id give him another year of fighting 5 times and then give him a shot because these guys are still very much in the beginning of their careers as well.

Sillahk has more experience than both of these guys.

Nathan Cleverly has had 22 pro fights and his amateur record is 32-4.

Shumenov has had 12 pro fights.

Sillahk has had 16 pro fights and his amateur record is 302-16.

Sillahk beats both of these guys right now.

it's not quantity but quality. shumenov = gold medalist and has fought (u can argue he lost) against a legit top ten guy. until i see sillahk compete against somebody better i believe cleverly looks superior. he has been fighting guys just a cut above the level sillahk has been for the past year. sillahk's about a year behind on level of competition. but lets see - if they make the fight with sillahk that's cool with me too.

I can't blame Shumenov for ducking Zsolt Erdei in this instance.

Cleverly has a belt and is a much easier fight so it makes sense to target him.

Unfortunately for Shumenov there is no way Cleverly is going to leave the UK, much less come to the US.

Shumenov will end up fighting Erdei and he will get taken to school just like he was by Campillo.
