This is probaly the most accurate statement on Cloud on this board. Cloud actually has some defensive moves, he made Woods miss a couple times by just ducking. All Lacy ever did was come in without the jab and get hit way more than Cloud does. And to the people who said "Lacy looked like he had fast hands too", Lacy never had fast hands.
Yeah, he has some Jeff in him. I had the same thought myself while watching the fight...I just hope it's the good side.
:good Handspeed can't be judged on a single variety of punch (and honestly his hook was never blazing, just strong).
Good thing i still have this thread cause it will get a chance for me to bash some ppl saying cloud doesnt fight like a prime lacy and has far better defense? <<If thats the case then how come cloud easily got schook by a freaking 48 year old hopkins? LMFAO!!! I knew from the moment i post this thread that if cloud face a fighter with slick skills, he'll get schooled. But to easily get schooled by a 48 year old is very very embarrassing. I told you all cloud fights like a prime lacy. Where was cloud defense that ppl here talk about? And did you all see how badly cloud was missing when he was throwing hooks? Hopkins freaking laugh at him after that lol. I know what i'm talking about.
You're an idiot, he fights nothing like Lacy. The only thing they have in common is that they both need to set their feet to punch, that's where the comparison begins and ends.
I think we've all witnessed here today that if 6+6=12, then 3x4=12 and if that is so, then 12 is 21's numerical antonym, as the reverse of 12 is 21. So, 21 is either half of one dozen in the negative or twice that of one dozen, or one dozen doubled, in the positive of said dozen's opposing algebraic sign. And, well, there you have it - Nash Equilibrium proven fact. This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected
Youre an idiot cause both lacy and cloud fights exactly the same. Both are pressure fighters looking to land huge shots after huge shots like either hooks or straight rights. And both dont have any defense at all. I dont think a 48 year old would have easily beat a prime undefeated lacy far worse. <<You just saying it cause what hopkins did to cloud proved without a doubt that cloud never had any defense to save his life. Cloud got his butt whooped in his last 2 fights. **** an over 40 year old out of shape johnson outboxed cloud. <<<Too bad cloud got a gift decision in those 2 fights he got outbox until he met hopkins. I think a 48 year old would take a prime lacy to school but not by a shut out. Hopkins is not close to calzaghe speed.
Of course nothing has change cause u wont admit you're far wrong. In cloud's last 2 fights especially in his last fight vs a 48 year old proved cloud does in fact fights like a prime lacy. I told you all that if cloud face a pure better skill boxer that he will get schooled and good lord i was F4CKING RIGHT!! Look at the way cloud pressures, its exactly like lacy. Look at the way cloud gets easily counter? Its exactly like lacy. Both always looking to land home runs when the 1st bell ring. Did u see how bad cloud miss his hooks? Hopkins laugh at him.<<<Hopkins at 48 wouldnt beat a prime lacy in a shut out the way undefeated calzaghe (who beats hopkins) did. Hopkins need great speed to beat lacy the exactly same way calzaghe did.
what most people dont realise is the true intention of this thread. Calzaghe beat lacy, so comparing Cloud to Lacy is boosting Calzaghe in some way and bringing down Hopkins achievements
