What's up with Tavaris Cloud?

[gatorDelux]

he should of never signed with king ***

yea..

that could **** him over eventually

[Visceral]

Getting pimped by Don King is what's up with Cloud. I want to see more of dude too. Him and Pascal would be fireworks.

I'm not a don king fan but he hasn't done anything bad for his career. Prior to signing with Don King Cloud was fighting like once a year. He then signed with king and immediately got a fight with Glen Johnson which of course was the biggest fight of his career to date. He fought 3 times in a year period which was definitely better.

What happens from here we'll have to see, but so far, imo, King hasn't hurt his career.

I'm sure the Hopkins-Dawson winner will get in the ring with him. That would be the best option for either, unless a Super Sixer moves up.

Cloud doesn't really impress me.

He was dead average in his last fight against Yusuf Mack.

I'm quite positive hopkins wouldn't fight cloud if he beats Dawson. Hopkins wants legacy AND money. In his eyes Cloud doesn't bring the amount of money he's looking for at this stage of his career (he'll be 47 years old).

As for Dawson, if he beats Hopkins you can bet Dawson vs Pascal II would happen first.

So unfortunately for Cloud, he's the odd man out for some time. Pascal was his shot and he's not getting it. He'll have to just keep winning and hanging around until the top guys are finished fighting eachother. Which is dangerous with guys like Ismail Sillakh quickly rising up the ranks. Other than that his best option would be Beibut Shumenov and try to add his belt to his collection. Diaconu is a decent fight. I doubt he could get Cleverly.

Tavoris is like Chris Byrd, back when he was the IBF Heavyweight Champion.

Good fighter, but they just don't know what to do with him. He doesn't sell tickets, and he demands a certain minimum per fight. So he only gets the fights he has to get, to hang on to his Title until a cash-in/cash-out opportunity presents itself.

I can see Dawson fighting him, should he beat B-Hop. But I don't see B-Hop doing it if he wins, I think he targets Bute in Cananda. But then again, Bute might cower away & maybe B-Hop does.

well in his defense Mack was on his bicycle for most of the fight. I thought Cloud was doing a good job cutting off the ring. It was just a matter of time before he finally caught Mack imo.

I know they are talking about it a lot, but I fully expect Bute to never make a serious attempt to fight Hopkins. If Hopkins is left with no one, I think he would fight Cloud.

And I know Dawson would.
