I'm not sure who is going to win this fight one side of me says the veteran Johnson will put Cloud into deep waters and win a close by clear decision other part of me says Johnson will become real old overnight and the younger fresher Cloud will win a UD on that alone along with the workrate. Question for yall I only seen very few of Cloud fights (hard to find online) how would you rate dude's chin?
I really don't know, I'm just saying I think it should be. Unless they make a special exception, it's their number one ranked VS their number 2 ranked for a vacant belt. Right now, Glen Johnson is ranked two, under Dawson. ...Even though Dawson just shut Johnson out and has his second official win over him. :-( I hope they make an exception. Pascal is third and they do sometimes allow that. But, damn, Hopkins is in fourth. Unjustifiably, imo. And also above Cloud. It's hell of a situation at LHW.
I've only seen a few of his fights as well but I don't think it's really been fully tested. The fight against Herrera is on youtube and Herrera has TKO'd cruiserweights before so that may be the biggest puncher he's faced. Neither Gonzalez nor Woods could discourage him with their shots. The chin is a mystery to me. Not because he's been rocked, but I don't know if he's faced heavy punchers or really high work rate guys.
Yea I hear ya on that one thats why I was wondering we know Glen Johnson has been in there with guys with pop and his chin is iron (when was the last time this guy was knocked down?) but Cloud hmmmmm.
True. I don't think he was ever a really big puncher, the Jones fight was kind of an abberation. His workrate has gone down significantly, but he still can bring the pressure unless you move like Dawson, in which case, he can't catch you. I'm just saying, I don't know if he's faced either, and if he hasn't Johnson should test his mettle a bit, but I expect him to pass the test.
Most fans, including yours truly, love The Road Warrior. However, Cloud looks like he might be the real deal. I used to make fun of him, even though I liked him, because he had no jab. I do not mean he had a **** poor jab. I mean he looked like he didn't even know jabs are legal! He appears to have corrected that. He throws a **** load of punches, he's tough, he's strong, he has decent technic, and the boy can crack. I think he wins this, but obviously, I'll be rooting for Glen to pull off one last good win.
:deal He won me vCash when he knocked out Mack. I'm appreciative. My vMother needed a vOperation and that paid for it.
Cloud is such an exciting fighter, I am really sad that he is promoted by Don King because that means he's not going to be fighting very much. I seriously question any fighters level of intelligence when they sign with Don King.
Don King crams his fighters up into the dark and obscure corners of his ass and makes them eat sleep and breathe his smelly old man farts.
I know the man is all about the green, but does he gain money by letting his fighters sit on the shelf? Or does he just not give a ****?
He's just old, incompetent and neglectful - and obviously nobody in his organization has stepped up to keep day-to-day operations running smoothly and let him just be a figurehead. He was a better promoter (from a fighter's perspective) when he was a soulless fleecer. He'd violate you but at least he kept you active.
Don King isn't like Bob Arum. The Bob Father still has the desire, and he still has vision. King just has a hair-do.
