Fights I want to see over the next year

No Cloud vs Campillo 2!?

OK so Cloud looks past Campillo and you guys make a huge deal about it. Cloud has been dodged for YEARS by the top 175 fighters. Dawson, Hopkins, Pascal, etc have just refused to fight Cloud and its not because Cloud would be easy to outbox.

Lyle, come on man, the reason Cloud lost isn't because he looked past Campillo. He lost because Campillo adjusted to his style after being knocked down twice in the first round. Maybe he avoided him in the past, but Pascal jumped at the chance to fight him after witnessing him lose against Campillo. Wack part of it is that Cloud is getting that pay day and the winner, Campillo, isn't. Cloud has a shot at redemption in that fight. Let's see if he can get it done. I'm looking forward to it.

Cloud will manhandle Pascal!

I seem to remember you saying the same thing about Campillo...

At least he's got the Pascal fight coming up, really looking foreward to that one!

I'm excited about that fight as well, only that Campillo would still be a better opponent for Pascal and just as pleasing a clash of styles. I do expect to see Pascal in a bit of trouble early but he should pull away and beat Cloud up down the stretch. Tavoris is going to be another Jeff Lacy imo, there is no way he is around long at the top level way to one paced and slow.

I have nothing but love for Tavoris Cloud but at 30 years old given his size & fighting style I'll say he needs the big fights NOW. Unless Cloud can adopt a style similar to what Glen Johnson has then eventually Cloud will be out moved & out hustled and he may look closer to Jeff Lacy. That being said I think he has the power and skill to stop Pascal and Dawson it's just a matter of when he fights them.

Ismayl Sillakh is the future at 175 and I think he has the best style to fight any of the top guys out there right now. I do question his chin a bit, but with his style I think he'll be hard to catch clean.

If Cloud fought Sillakh right now I would probably have Sillakh winning

I,ve been impressed with Sillakh too, but the recent inactivity has been concerning...

Good to see him back this week, I doubt he has much trouble with 11-0 Grachev

I wouldn't mind seeing Tarver-Cunningham.

I hear they have a twitter beef...

PHILADELPHIA(April 25, 2012)—After many months of disregarding and downplaying a potential bout with former two-time International Federation (IBF) Cruiserweight champion Steve “USS” Cunningham, former Light Heavyweight world champion Antonio Tarver has finally stepped up to the plate, well sort of.

For the past several months, Cunningham & Tarver have been going back in forth on twitter but whenever the prospect of a fight gets brought up, Tarver has had one excuse after another and then Tarver took a June 2nd fight with little known Lateef Kayode.

Well finally Tarver, has acknowledged that a fight with Cunningham would be a meaningful one and has said a fight with Cunningham could happen if Cunningham could get support of the fans to tune in by garnering 20,000 twitter followers.

Team Cunningham decided to step up to the challenge and has launched a twitter campaign titled, "Can Twitter Make A Fight?- @USSvsMagicMan". This social media experiment will see if twitter is a powerful enough tool to get this fight made with the support of 20,000 boxing fans. The team acknowledges that this is a tall order given the lack of attention the cruiserweight division gets in the states, but they feel that if fans want to see a good fight, this should not matter.

When asked about the prospect of this fight happening, Cunningham said, "This is a fight I have wanted for the longest and Tarver has made up many excuses to not make it happen. I was honestly ready to move on from the idea, but he made the challenge and me and my team are crazy enough to call him on it. Following @USSvsMagicMan is not about being a fan of mine or Tarver's it's about being a fan of boxing and wanting to see a good fight and taking action to get it made".

Boxing fans are now asked to simply follow @USSvsMagicMan and when the number soars to the magic number of 20,000 then this important fight can and will happen.
