I knew woods would go the distance, but cloud looked good.

Woods has one hell of a chin, Cloud would of knocked out 90% of the light heavys out there. Johnson/Cloud would be fight of the year, their styles would make for one hell of a fireworks show.

 

I think Chad would win as of now, but there would be a part in the fight when Chad would get hurt, just like when he fought Glen Johnson.

 

That fight would be a 50/50 for me, Johnson's every bit as tough as Woods and has a great workrate as well. I'm telling you, Johnson/Cloud would be a dream fight, and a must see for anyone who enjoys a good slugfest.

 

Yeah, Chad would UD him. I was saying Glen Johnson vs Cloud, thats the fight I wanna see.

 

Cloud is too slow, and eats too many jabs. Someone that has more in the tank then the last two guys that he fought would beat. I think that Cloud has had a very easy road to a belt having only beatten two decent fighters and both are well past thier best days. I know that some europeans fans keep wanting to dub Dirrell as the next Lacy, but truth be told that guy is Cloud, Cloud is on the verge of being badly outclassed and beatten.

 

Cloud vs Pascal is about a 50/50 fight, maybe 60/40 in favor of Pascal

 

Johnson would win, I not sold on Cloud, I just dont think that Gonzalez and Wood told us anything about the guy. Neither guy is a big puncher or very good "BOXERS" They were really a couple of guys that were made to order for Cloud.

 

Those were my exact thoughts. EXACT.

I thought Woods was landing a lot of clean jabs. Cloud looked slow and limited. I thought "he looks like he's gonna be another Lacy".

 

Cloud does eat jabs at times, but he is not slow. He's faster than Johnson and Lacy and is actually a decent boxer. I think Clould would give Dawson a tougher time than people think. Remember Dawson doesn't do well at closing the show in fight's and Cloud would be the most agressive fighter, he ever faced.

 

What do you expect? The guy has only had 20 fights, and Woods is a very durable fighter and a good vet. I think will see how good he is in the next couple bouts, he looks pretty decent to me.

 

:good

Luckily for Cloud, it might be awhile before someone comes along at Light Heavyweight to do it. He's been matched up shrewdly, and I think we'll see him milk that title a bit before they match him with someone who could expose him. Exciting fighter though- he needs to be fighting every 4-5 months to refine his game.

 

Thats the point. When your match vs guys that are there to make you look good that is what happens. 20 fights is no longer an excuse, he holds a major belt now.

Cloud may get beter in the months and years to come, but I just dont see a skillset that would allow him to be in fights with guys that will box him from a distance.
