    Like anything in the business world, getting your name out there in boxing.... it's not always about what you can do. It's about who you know.

    There are probably a lot of unknown amateurs out there that have the ability to beat the very best. We'll just never know.

    Cloud is on his way, though. ESPN FNF gave him some good exposure..

    Looks like he has fortitude as well as the talent. So far at least.

    Cloud didn't get hit that much at all. If a person only lands 19% of there punches on you that means you didn't take too many punches.

    Depends on the power,sometimes 10% is enough

    Gonzalez's punches had no snap on them. Many of the punches that did land were glancing blows.

    True but this fight pretty much showed Gonzalez is shot.Still hope he fights a couple of good fights but he is just a stepping stone now probably.Would like to see Shaun George beat on him

    Scared?Your never been wrong,don't compare Cloud with Diaconu,they are on different positions in their careers.

    Cloud is a way a way to where Diaconu is,don't think he will get there cuz the 175 lb division is too deep.Diaconu would beat Cloud pretty easy now in his prime.

    Lacy and Cloud are really only similar in physique imo. That's where it ends. Tavoris is faster, and I'd say is more powerful as well as being more fluid, skilled and better defensively.
