Who do you guys think Yusaf Mack's next opponent should be?

Tarver for sure. Very winnable fight and why settle for just anyone?? Go for a popular name, winnable fight, one that will get him exposure, and one that when he wins, it will get everyone talking about match-ups with Dawson-Johnson. I think if you put him with someone of less caliber, when he wins, then you will be exactly in the same position you are now. Thinking about who to fight next. If our boy works and trains hard, he could beat Tarver which will do nothing but set him up for the bigger fights. Tarver makes the most sense for me. Good luck in making a deal, and good luck to our boy.

I think as long as Mack's defense/chin hold up he would decision Tarver comfortably.

How has he performed against southpaws in the past?

I'm with the other guys here who think Tarver is there for the taking...

How about Jones Jr or Woods?

Mack beat Judah he is a south paw. He is not in Tarver's Class but Mack is in Tarvers class for sure. I would love to see Mack vs tarver and he stop him. That would turn some heads.

Love hearing everyones input too!!!

If he could stop Tarver the whole boxing world would take notice. Tarver is deceptively hard to hit, and that sneaky left can come out of nowhere.
I do believe Mack at this stage would win, but a stoppage is a tall order.

I agree it would tough to ko Tarver as he has never been stopped but he has been knocked down 3 times & seems easier to hit these days... what a statement that would be from Mack!

I'm sorry, but there's no way Mack stops Tarver in my opinion. I'd love to see it, but I don't think it'll happen. I really think this fight has two potential outcomes, either Mack decisions Tarver or Tarver stops Mack. I think the former is the most likely, but I wouldn't completely disregard Tarver.
