Tavoris Cloud Withdraws, inks with King, Legal Suit Looms - Boxing News
I wonder if there is any truth to his injury, otherwise...........Business first, boxing second. standard operating procedure.
That really, really fucking sucks for Johnson. He's earned his shot the hard way, just like every other time he's gotten in the mix, and he deserves a chance to become champion.
It does suck for Johnson, I want to give Cloud the benefit of the doubt for now though, and Johnson still IS the mandatory, so there is no reason to think the fight won't happen. Cloud doesn't have much of a following so I think if he loses his belt there isn't much reason for people to fight him at least on a televised level.Quote:

Look what he's done with Alexander though... pity this fight is off. The series of quality fights falling through continues! This fight would have shown us exactly where both fighters stand, the young lion vs the grizzled vet. I hope it can be salvaged in the near futureQuote:

King didn't do shit for Alexander. Alexander has been largely inactive the past few years and Kevin Cunningham and his manager have both publicly blasted King for his handling, and that's like his best non-heavyweight I think.
