    just watched the tavoris cloud fight...

    I must say i am impressed, the kid brings it. nice speed, great endurance and a puncher who can box, im sold on this kid. I thought he was one of thoses fighters in chicago who got served soft touches to build up the record to cash them out in one nice payday, nope the kid can fight. the kid even rocks on his right hand alas james toney (and myself). mabey i like this kid cause we have similar styles dont know, but with dawsons shaky chin and the fact he has a little trouble with pressure (alas glen johnson) i would put my money on cloud. him and that pascal would be a hell of a fight, and that romainan kid fighting out of canada and cloud would be a war. its nice to see new talent arive on the scene

    Any combination between Cloud,Johnson,Andrade,Diaconu and Pascal would be good fights.

    But I doubt any of them beats Dawson.

      I'm impressed too. Seems to have power in both hands. Took good punches from a decent fighter and kept bringing the heat. I like how he doubles his left hook too. Pretty basic slugger, but he's better than an Edison Miranda or Jeff Lacy. He's Chad Dawson's nightmare, I'm saying it right now.

        Chad Dawson doesn't punch hard enough to keep Cloud off of him. It'll be like the Johnson fight only Cloud is a harder puncher.

          He won't need to keep Cloud off him.Besides Dawson would land a lot on him,should get his respect.

          Cloud doesn't put the type of pressure Johnson puts.

            Maybe i should download this and see if he really is the real deal. The Light Heavyweight division definatley needs more talent.

                Cloud is good for boxing. We need someone like him as the back bone of the Lightheavyweight division. He is more exciting than Chad Dawson.

                  hes actually a very good counter-puncher..people may of gotten all wrapped up into his hard punches. but look aat that shoulderroll over the top right hand, that impressed me..and he has so much power he breaks right through your guard..hes not some one dimensional brawler..i would call him an agressive boxer-puncher with good countering ability.

                    He has a lot more skill than people give him credit for. Another thing is his will/determination. You can see it in his eyes and by the way he fights that he's willing to do whatever it takes to win. Like he said he's not going back to living with roaches.
