    After both their respective last fights i think this might be alot closer than was first thought if they were to fight, Cloud got taught boxing lesson by Campillo and should have lost, Where as Bellow showed he can box intelligently and not just bang and went with a world champ on an roughly equal footing. How do you think this fight would go?

    It would be a good fight and Bellew is capable of winning imo, I would like to see him have a few more fights though, against some other top contenders and gain more experience.

    I honestly think Tony would have a real chance in this fight, I think he could beat him on points, would be close IMO. Tony has a few different styles, we haven't really seen them enough to see what he can do and make a solid opinion on it.

    If he fights like he did against Clev, he could win against Cloud though. I have never rated Cloud that highly though, he didn't impress me against Woods a few years ago and thats stuck in my mind.

    Cloud stops him early. Cloud has beat several fighters that are clearly better than Tony will ever be. Woods, Johnson, Gonzalez & Mack.

    Campillo is a tricky southpaw. he is a difficult fight for anyone at 175. Bellew fights nothing like him.

    If Cloud hit Bellew with the shots he got Campillo with in round 1 its game over.

    Would be a good fight but a short one. Cloud knocks him out in five rounds.

    even if you gave that fight 115-113 to Johnson its better than anything Bellew has ever done.

    I thought I Cloud beat Johnson.:conf At least I think I did.:lol:

    The Campillo fight isn't really a great gauge of how this would go anyways, in my opinion. I think it was Gaz that said Cloud's main problem in that fight was that he hasn't got the slightest idea of how to adjust when he's fighting a southpaw, which Bellew obviously is not.

    I really like Tony but Cloud would stop him. For once, Rob has made a good post.

    Bellew by TKO late. Don't rate that Cloud much.

    Think Bellew is being a bit underrated here I'm not saying he would beat Cloud or anything but so many including myself gave him no chance against Cleverly and he gave him a bloody good run for his money and some thought he even won.

    Persoally I would go with a Cloud decision but I don't think It would be any for gone conclusion.

    I don't really see anything special in Cloud. Yeah he beat Woods but that was at the end of his career, and he was soundly eaten last week IMO.

    He has good power, but I'm not sure he likes people willing to box him, something which I thought Bellew did very well against Clevery. That said, Bellew doesn't have the best stamina I've ever seen, and will probably be stopped down the stretch.

    I wouldn't be surprised at all i Tony was able to outbox him for long periods tho. Slugging it out would be a wrong move tho

    Have you seen bellew take a punch? against mckenzie he got knocked down and bounced back up as if he'd tripped, then was accused of being on drugs by mckenzie because of how hard he hit bellew
