    Against that Cloud fellow, according to the Beeb.

    Tremendous opportunity for Woods.

    So he could take a rematch with Glen Johnson. HBO didn't want the Cloud fight and the IBF wouldn't budge on mandatories (Cloud)

    will likley be in the UK has Cloud is not with a major promoter and does not have UK tv budget.

    You gotta say fair play to the IBF for not budging on mandos, just a shame there rankings are ****.

    Woods is shot. Cloud will win this. How Woods gets another shot after his performance against Tarver beats me.

    Because he beat Muriqi in an eliminator I guess. It's not as if he stepped up a division and automatically challenged for a title...

    He's got a chance but I'm not too optimistic. Cloud is a crude kinda guy, no jab, just a stalker that throws power punches. But he has got that power to pull it off. Woods will fancy his chances if he boxes well.

    Just the power of Cloud, his physical attributes, youth..and the way Woods is performing...you gotta favour Cloud.

    Calling Woods 'shot' suggested you didn't watch any of the Muriqi fight. He looked good in winning it.

    The Tarver fight seems more like Clinton was overawed with the situation. He wasn't really in any danger of getting stopped in that fight after all, but just went into his shell and stayed there.

    I appreciate Cloud will be a challenge. That big sword, for one thing.

    I'd give Woods a chance here...Cloud doesn't have anyone other than a TKO over an aged Gonzalez on his record.People should be questioning the validity of a Cloud shot at the belt rather than Clintons

    He destroyed the chin of Gonzalez, that had previously had taken bombs from RJJ and didn't budge

    Woods shoudl change his nickname to the cat. This guy has had more shots at the IBF title than any other light heavy in recent memory. And what on earth is wrong with those clowns down at the IBF? They'll do anything for a sanctioning fee even if that includes cheapening there title.
