Tavoris Cloud, real deal or not?

[Dynamite Kid]

I like him but i have not seen enough of him to make an informed opinion. I do like his intense style though.

He's a beast but facing off with Dawson will let you know if he is the real deal. Even if he loses but has a respectable showing.

[Sir Tom Jones]

Dawson is looking at winner of Hopkins/Jones Jr II, but in the meantime maybe he should give these other guys shots even if its not for big pay-checks. Or do you think Dawson and his team are thinking about risk/awards at stake? Meaning he could lose to someone like Cloud and for not alot of money... I wonder...

Why would he want to give others a shot.

it is all about yourself in this 'buisness'.

when the money fights against the guys in their 40s have dried up then he has to take on cloud.

he would KO dawson inside 4 rounds guranteed. the punches cloud was nailing woods with would of put dawson away instantly. cloud is a beast who i think is a bad style matchup for every fighter in the division

bold statement there.

i am interested to see how nathan cleverly does. 5 years younger than cloud and dawson. got a european title he should get soon.

Cloud Cleverly is probably more likely than Cloud Dawson to be honest, I can see Dawson chasing one of two match ups for big $ 1) winner of Jones Hopkins and / or 2) going down 7lbs to fight the winner of the super six. Dawson needs to be careful to stay active look what happened to Winky when he stayed inactive waiting for the big fight to come to him.

yeah going down would be a smart move for dawson i think after a hopkins/jones jr fight. can't see roy or bernard being too keen to take this one on. super six winner could get good money. abraham in berlin would be packed out. that is if abraham wins the tournament.

cleverly would be better off avoiding cloud for a good 4 years.

yea cleverly is a good prospect. im not making the statement like that because i think cloud is that much better than dawson i just think cloud's style is dawson's worst nightmare. cloud did get hit more often then youd like against woods but i honestly think that had alot to do with the 12 month layoff he had and woods has a really good jab himself

[Blue Heffner]

Not, Dawson would put on a boxing clinic against him.

Cloud might not beat Dawson, but he sure is a more exciting fighter to watch.
