Cornelius White would be a good opponent; definitely a big step up from Craig.

You've probably already seen this, but here is some footage of White, including his loss to Don George and his recent upset of Cuban Olympian Yordanis Despaign .

Blake Caparello v Dante CRAIG. I am reading the related blogs. I can appreciate Blakes fans, trainers, managers etc opinion on this matter. I know Dante well as I am his manager and the one who first contacted about making this fight happen. I called out Blake to fight Dante because we need a win. Ive watched 3 fights of Blakes and he is average at best. His punches are thrown sloppy and wide. I do agree Dante performance was poor but few know that Dante tore a tendon in his right ankle few moments into the fight. (Georgia commission documented this) which gave Dante no leverage or lateral movement. Second Coyne is the #4th ranked cruiser weight in the WBC fighting a 168 moving up for the first time. Dante went toe 2 toe with Direll for 5 rounds before getting hit with a wicked body shot. Blake is fighting a bum next. The guy has two fights against winning records and lost both of them. One of them was 1-0. That fight will do very little to boost his rankings or his name. Dante is a 2000 olympian. Dante spent the last thirty days resting his ankle and resumed his training two weeks ago. There is no doubt Blake would get put to sleep if he fought Dante. Direll fought Dante and was ranked 20# by the WBC after beating Dante Craig he moved up to #1 and now has a title shot. So seems like a good business move if you ACTUALLY believe he can beat Dante. We still want to fight Caparello and willing to do so in his backyard because DANTE needs a win and We chose you BLAKE CAPARELLO. Lets make this happen. We will be ready anytime after Late March. I look forward to reading the blogs after Caparello gets get ko'd in front of is family and fans.

I wouldn't be talking about winning/lossing records.

Caperello has fought one fighter with a losing records whereas Dante has fought 7 of them, includinh getting KO'd by a 5-13 fighter.

Blake's opponent is being worked on and should be released soon. Will be a good fight.

The Engel/Caparello fight is on the schedule.

Craig has lost seven of his last ten fights by KO or TKO. Sounds like one of the mugs Harry Miller used to bring out to boost local fighters' records in the sixties.
