Should us Brits be worried about Tavoris Cloud & Devon Alexander?

    Is it a forgone conclusion that Witter and Woods will regain their belts, or are the above 2 something to worry about?

    I see Witter vs Alexander as 50-50 or maybe Witter as a slight favorite but I think Cloud will beat Woods.

    I think Cloud handles Woods. Not sure about Witter-Alexander. If Witter is on, I'd say he'd handle Alexander, possibly by stoppage. But Witter's so erratic that I can't call it.

    Honesly, even as a Brit, I think they will both lose.

    I think Cloud beats Woods. Witter should handle Alexander provided he shows up. But there's no gurantee that he will. I don't think Alexander is anything special.

    I have only seen Alexander in his last fight but he looks extremely tight when he fights.

    That is the only think i have to say on that. :bbb

    I haven't seen much of Alexander, so I can't give a fair opinion there.

    Cloud should win, but I worry a little bit about the way he's been managed. He's been sitting on the sidelines since he won his mandatory spot so as not to risk losing it, and while I don't have a problem with that in some cases, Cloud's got barely a shred of quality experience at this level and it'll have been a year layoff by the time that fight happens. Hopefully he's been staying sharp and in shape in the meantime, but he comes off to me as a fighter that's better when he's active. If Woods has anything left in the tank, it'll be an interesting fight.

    Witter is not that good and Woods is a British level fighter. Woods can take a punch though.

    I see both Witter and Woods losing. Woods lost every round to an old Tarver.:patsch

    Woods may well have trouble with the speed of Cloud in his old age. Who knows about Witter? Who knows.

    Im not sold on Cloud, he has alot of flaws, Im not sure that Woods at this point can take advantage of them.

    Witter is in for a tough fight, Alexander is a really good fighter, I thought that he had a good shot at beatting Bradley.

    Based on what exactly? A big slow clumsy heavyweight who made sure all the odds were in his favour before the contracts were signed as he is **** scared of Haye..........

    Only 3 weeks to go before muppets like you will be telling us that Vitali will do what his brother couldn`t and thats beat Haye.

    Back on the subject the Woods/Cloud fight is a tough one to call AS IT IS A 50/50 fight but Witter will beat Alexander with ease.

    I'd say Witter and Cloud win these fights though I could see both going either way.

    This. Witter should probably be a slight favorite over Alexander, but Cloud probably overwhelms Woods at this point. Cloud isn't anything that special technically, but he's a bulldog whose punch packs a wollop.

    Cloud will KO Woods in the 7 or 8th round...Alexander close UD over Witter...
