    If Carl Froch decides to head up to 175 and takes on Cloud, how do you see this fight going?

    I'd be more interested in seeing Campillo get a payday, considering what happened this past weekend.

    froch barely beat a weight drained johnson, cloud would stop him in the late rounds.

    I'd pick a Cloud stoppage here. Not a good match up for Froch, especially at 175... I don't see Froch getting better with the weight.

    I dont rate Cloud at all and think he would lose against some of top LHWs clearly, but Cloud does have a fair workrate. Froch is slow and doesnt throw enough and has been past his best for a while.
    I think Cloud outpoints Froch based on workrate

    I have zero respect for Cloud, esp. when he said that he won the fight! Judges should be banned for life!

    Don't get fooled. It's not that Cloud is a bad fighter, it was Campillo who made him look silly. Froch vs Cloud would be a competive fight imo. Really Froch is not that slick what people are thinking

    Froch is not slick at all. He is crude. He is good at what he does . Cloud had problems in his last fight with a slick southpaw mover. Froch is non of that. The outcome : A great toe to toe fight!!!

    Cloud is taking a lot of hate because of Saturday,but I agree this could be a tough fight for Froch.Still think he has enough though for a UD or late stoppage.
    The extra weight could help Carl (training-wise) at this stage of his career.

    lol Campillo ain't no "slick southpaw mover". He does most of his damage inside, he's a bruiser. How many fights have you seen of his?

    Cloud lost because Campillo does everything Cloud does but a lot better and with a lot more strategy. Cloud's skills are terrible.
