A LHW who gets jabbed clean and outfoxed by a MW for the better part of an entire fight is not exactly "a lot better than Andrade"... for a start. It should have been Cloud KO2 Zuniga, and it wasn't.
Andrade is/was a ****ing bum who has zero skills and is about as athletic as a corpse. he gets by on with his physicality nothing else. Cloud actually knows how to get leverage on his punches :shock:
King is allowing him to 'die on the vine'. Don has slipped, Cloud's career and likely best years are passing by without a high profile fight. Showtime canceling the 31st bouts has to be frustrating as well. Damn shame really.
No way dude, he's an entertaining fighter that people would be worried about fighting, however due to his fan base it is quite a risky fight, as the credibility of a win doesn't out weigh the good chance there is of him koing the likes of pascal, dawsn, cleverly and hopkins
He's promoted by Don King which these days is very bad for your career, he doesn't have the tv shows to keep his fighters fighting regularily as Top Rank and GBP have them largely sown up, and he keeps standing in the way of his guys fighting on other promoters cards. He had a bit of buzz as a KO artist going a couple of years back but when he couldn't knock out old Clinton Woods and Glenn Johnson it looked like he was only scoring KO's because he was fighting weak opposition (unfair maybe but that's how it goes), he needs exposure to make a name for himself as a good, exciting fighter but isn't getting it.
He's good but not exceptional imo. Doesnt seem to have many fans or generate much hype despite being in an excellent division.
Right. Obviously you haven't watched the Mack & Tsypko fights. :? Doesn't change the fact Cloud couldn't wobble Zuniga with that punch power you seem so fond of.
