    I have never seen cloud fight but there seems to be a bit of positive hype about his skills. do you think he can be victorious over the veteran woods on August 28th, 2009?

    I cant help but think back to Rico Hoye, big punching, big reputation and unbeaten like Cloud and Woods look good against him.

    Guess it depends which Woods shows up, if its the same as against Tarver he could be in trouble.

    Is Cloud more of a power hitter or is he techinical. i remember a lil while back people were saying he could beat dawson.

    Cloud has a technical base but he's primarily a steady pressure type who likes to wing bombs. Accurate puncher, moderate footspeed, slow to moderate overall mobility, upright, inside roller, loves the pocket. "Small" for the weight - and at his size it's more of a factor because of his slow pacing.

    Right...I think the best way to describe Cloud would be a fighter who's style is organized chaos.

    does he have one punch power. woods looked real lackluster vs tarver. is it a safe statement in saying that both johnson and dawson are better at this time than cloud? how tested is he
