    This is from the first press conference but I hadn't seen it before. Naazim says he thinks fighters like Dawson and Calzaghe, who don't pose a real threat, don't really bring out the best in Hopkins. Obviously there's a stylistic element to it to, but I think that there may be some truth to it. Punchers like Tito, Pavlik etc. posed threats to Bernard's life when you think about it. I think Bernard is treating Cloud the same way.

    A guy who is faster, more active poses no threat? Cop out for being in with bad style matchups and being unable to adjust.

    These are some clips posted 2 weeks ago of Bernard on the mitts in Philly.

    Like I said, I think he's referring to the threat of being KO'd.

    B-Hop in that 2nd video even admits he can't fight 12 hard. Cloud has just gotta come in shape and ready to work.

    He meant that Cloud can't continue to throw lots of punches for 12 rounds. Campillo beat the crap out of Cloud, Cloud lost, even Cloud's own fans were booing at the decision. I hope Hopkins knocks him out. Campillo almost did, should have and could have, but then started to play around with Cloud. He should have knows the judges were crooks!

    Here I don't think the judges will have any special bias for Cloud. But I could be wrong.

    Hopkins is the realest mother ****er in the sport.

    Mayweather takes on 11-1 undergdog Guerrero.

    Hopkins, a grandpa at 50, is THE underdog.

    Hopkins is a great fighter, but he should have retired years ago. (At the latest, after the Pavlik fight in 2008.)

    Fighting at the age of 48 surely isn't a good idea in such a tough sport, where (even though he's always been slippery and difficult to hit consistently) he must still have taken a lot of punches in both the gym and real matches. There's also nothing left for him to prove. He's regarded as a legend, and he's accomplished a lot, fighting some top level guys in the past. There's absolutely no need to fight guys like Dawson and Cloud and take more punches.

    :lol: When was this? Hopkins is hilarious, sometimes. I remember in the dressing room before the first Pascal fight, he was doing an interview with Jim with a balaclava on. :lol: The ****.

    As for the fight, I'm not sure whether Hops will be pushing Cloud back. I think it's just talk. I'm expecting him to walk Cloud onto shots and smother him when he gets close.

    Cloud been exposed already.

    Yeah I think he's gonna push Cloud back, keep him on his heels and do a lot of bodywork. It's dangerous to be in the trenches with Cloud but B-Hop is one of the best inside fighters of all time.

    Final press conference yesterday, he left the building without saying a word. I love when he does **** like that.
