I dislike Hopkins the most in Boxing and i hope to see him get that ass beat one day but it aint going to be by the hands of Cloud, I know that. Cloud is a one dimensional fighter who only fights in one gear and Hopkins chose him for a reason. He's no different than the Pavliks and the Pascals with no imagination... Hops will proably win via another boring ass decision.. Cloud sucks..
if hopkins still has it he should beat cloud. in fact, even if he no longer has it and loses, he should make it an ugly fight and teach cloud many lessons, roughing him up in the process, legally or illegally. cloud's reputation as a total beast lost much of its luster in his fight with campillo.
Dawson didnt look great in the win against Hopkins. Yeah I think cluod knocked down the spanish guy multiple times early, then cloud went on to lose every round. Hopkins is pretty much old now, but you never know what that scoundrel has up his sleeve.
bhop will keep milking millions if it is available. The guy is crafty enough to not get ktfo. He'll spoil to the finish line and complain that he should've won but in reality he just clinched the **** out of his opponents to a non fight event. Not hating on the guy for making his money though.
Too difficult to predict without knowing what state B-Hop is in. His last fight -- because of styles -- revealed nothing in regards to how this one against Cloud will play out. B-Hop's an old man and can't feast unless you bring his meal to him. Hence all the “he ain’t gonna’ run from an old man, is he?” talk. Dawson was too big, youthful and stubborn to give him what he wanted (which was the main reason why I give B-Hop so much credit for taking him on). Cloud, however, comes in the mould of a fighter that could make things easier for him, but it’s a double edge sword. His pressure, power and most importantly workrate if he’s improved it, could also burst the pipes.
Hopkins will win this, not though being particularly good as I feel he should have retired a while ago, but Cloud isn't very good
