Tavoris Cloud hype train - the next real LHW champion

[bunce101]

Lets see if its more than just hype, I am not convinced as of now.

To be honest that man-woman in your pic could take cloud, another guy that could beat him would be jean pascal/lucien bute forget about chad dawson

All aboard.

After Cloud defeats Glen Johnson in a little more than a week, in what I expect to be one of the best fights of the year, hopefully Chad Dawson wont have too much trouble with Carl Froch's left overs and will man up and fight a solid, still in his prime opponent for the LHW supremacy. Will it happen or will Dawson go to 168 pounds? Either way, Cloud will soon be considered the best at LH.

You do know Chad comes into his fights over 190 lbs., right?

Cloud has been inactive for over a year now and I fully expect that to hurt him against Glen. Once he realizes he can't KO Glen I fully expect Glen to take over in the 2nd half of the fight and earn a TKO.

If he does anything less than dominate Glen Johnson with ease, then there's now way I'm considering him over Chad Dawson.

[Dick Buffman]

Not saying much. Its a dead division.

Maybe if he beats Old Man River him and Dawson can fight to exit prospect status, since each will finally have a fight against a live body.

I don't expect Dawson to get out of Canada alive though.

I feel the same way. There's nothing about Cloud that suggest to me that he could beat even this old version of Glen.

Not sure what the hype about Cloud is anyway. The guy never fights and when he does, he looks a shade above ok.

Cloud looks like a brilliant fighter, still young though and fairly untested. I'll be interested to see how he handles Glen.

so disrespectful to Pascal, who happens to be WBC LHW champion...

[street bully]

I like Cloud, don't kow if he is as good as many claim though.

get ready for Dawson-Johnson III

[Iceta Lives]

War Glen Johnson. I like Cloud, but he lost points in my book by signing with Don King. And he's the reason why this fight didn't happen sooner. Johnson's career is done if he loses this fight, and I don't think he's got enough money to retire on and live a peaceful life. That's why I'm rooting for him. I would like to see a Cloud-Chad fight though. Dawson will move down in weight to get away from him just like you said though.
