    Last I read, he reached a verbal agreement for a unification fight against IBF MW champ Daniel Geale to bring in the New year. And, that Showtime might be the one that shows it.

        ah yes Geale, I remember that but haven't heard any follow up in some time. Would be great if Showtime picks it up

                believe it or not he's been more active once he signed with Don King. One of his demands was he wanted to be more active. So he fought three times in a years period of time - Glen Johnson, Zuniga & Mack all within about 10 months. It's a shame it will be 6 months between his last fight and Erdei, but I believe it took them some time to get a good fight (since hopkins, dawson were fighting eachother and the pascal fight fell through).

                  He needs to fight Cleverly and take that belt off him.



                  Last time I checked Cloud is pushing 30.

                    And Dmitry Pirog is 31. Both guys need to get it going quick!

                    Gamboa will be 30 in December and Rigondeaux is 31, so them too!
