Tarver lost last week, he was stopped by the other Champion in round 10. However, with the lack of eligible (top 10) opponents this week, this fight will be sanctioned and can go ahead.

Note: This will NOT be happening as the norm - but the weights sometimes wear thin, so I'll let it slide for this week. But once the weights are unified there won't be any cpu opponents for any of the belts.

Okay, let's clear things up for this week.

Fist of Legend - Juan Carlos Gomez
stevedoc - Denis Lebedev
Tomasino - David Haye

Juan Carlos Gomez can defend his World Title against Orlin Norris (10th) and he won't be in breach of any of the rules.

Whilst not quite in the top 10, the highest ranked available opponent is Lee Roy Murphy (13th) - he is ranked above you, so a victory over him would greatly increase your points total.

Lebedev is currently ranked, so let's throw him in with Al Cole (25th) who is positioned right on the brink of the top rankings.

stevedoc - Gerald McClellan

McClellan is currently ranked 21st (1010.2) and he has a very similar points total to Julio Cesar Chavez Jr (1010.3) - so a fight between them could be competitive and interesting.

I will be watching Chavez Jr. vs Gerald McClellan with interest. I may consider Chavez Jr. as an opponent in the near future if he's successful against McClellan here.

Either one...or both on the same night.

rather than be forced to give a fighter a title shot who doesn't deserve it and one who he's already fought and beat, Gomez will vacate the WBO title and fight ST Gordon, who is at least coming off a victory.

Is that the right thing to do? Holyfield will vacate his title too then to fight Tarver

it shall be done! there will be two new Cruiserweight champions after Week 16

Note: neither Holyfield or Gomez will be eligible for title bout consideration until week 17
