People don't know about Tavoris Cloud yet, but they soon will. He a powerful puncher with an exciting, aggressive style.
He would KO George, and will knock out Chad Dawson if given the chance. Sadly, Chad will drop the IBF title to avoid Tavoris and look for another old man to fight.
Cloud's team doesn't want Cloud fighting Dawson right now, it wouldn't be a good move anyway. He needs to fight someone like Chris Henry or Clinton Woods for more experience. Once Cloud gets more exposure he'll be ready for Dawson.
People thought that Byrd would magically become a puncher once he moved down in weight, which in hindsight seems ludicrous as he looked like a skeleton come fight night. George looked great in that fight, but he was fighting a ghost of a man. I'd like to see him against Cloud, I think that's a good action fight.
Exactly, while George and Cloud's last opponents were both past their best. I would have loved to see Cloud vs. Gonzalez five years ago, that would have been a war.
George battered Byrd in what seemed like a fight Byrd was going to win. Only like 5 people on here picked George. Very surprising win imo. He was a bit to hesitant at times, but I could critcze Cloud's performance too such as not having enough stamina

Shaun George is the better boxer but Tavoris Cloud hits harder, actually George hits pretty hard himself (don't be fooled by his KO's %). Cloud is a talented fighter no doubt, but he still needs experience. I say George wins right now, but overtime Cloud will be the better fighter. Not to undermine George, because he's a talented fighter too.

Cloud's good, but I don't think he'd beat Dawson unless he catches him. He looked great in stopping Gonzalez, but Gonzalez was accient.
I'm not sure if he would even beat George, but it'd be a much closer fight.
I agree completely. I want Dawson to fight Cloud so people could end this ''ducking'' thing.

Cloud is a bad, bad man. Love the way he fights, throws a ton of short, accurate power punches and always keeps the pressure on. Hope he takes it and fights Dawson.
