Why is this your sentiment all of a sudden? Is this the traditional "he is too old, the young guy will stop him", viewpoint? Lets look at styles. Trinidad, Tarver, Pavlik. All those fights were at a different age point.
Stylistically, Cloud fits right into that category. Not Calzaghe, Taylor, Dawson or even Pascal. Pascal at least was fast handed and explosive for the first 5 rounds.
Even if Hopkins is way past it and can no longer pull the trigger offensively to win decisions, he's got plenty to survive and play defense and lost by decision. A KO loss??? A 0.0001% chance of that happening.
