Comments Thread For: Tavoris Cloud Says: I Am The New Bernard Hopkins!

[AKATheMack]

I have no idea what would make him think that. He looked athletic and strong last night, but thats about it. I was extremely impressed with an old ass Glen Johnson though. He showed his usual toughness and gave Cloud all he could handle. I thought him pitty patting his way through a round with 105 soft taps was brilliant also.

Cloud isnt that good. He barely won imo.

Cloud is definitely not the new BHop but he isn't the next Jeff Lacy either. His performance was a mixed bag last night. His power is real and that could be trouble for any light heavyweight. And he's not unskilled in there, Johnson, even at this advanced stage, is still a tough out. Nevertheless, Dawson appears to be on another level. We'll see after Saturday night.

I think this is the best way to put it. I wasn't impressed with Cloud last night, but how can anybody totally ignore the fact that he had Johnson seriously hurt in the fight? Dawson never came close to doing that, and Chad had to fight a safety first fight to win in the rematch more convincingly. I don't think Cloud would ever get tired in a fight with Dawson like he did against Johnson tonight because Dawson isn't a pressure fighter like that.

After tonight, I'd definitley have to make Dawson a favorite to outbox Tavoris Cloud. But with Cloud's power and better ability to take a punch, I don't know why everybody is ****ting on the prospect of this match up. Especially given that the division is so weak outside of Dawson, Cloud, and Johnson. Dawson isn't as skilled as Hopkins either. But yeah, I agree Cloud sounds full of himself. Lol.

That was pretty dope. And it put Cloud on ice, lol...

Cloud was hurt a few times as well.

Cloud was hurt a few times as well.

It seemed like he was especially in the last round and in the first two rounds. But I thought he took it better than Johnson did in the fifth round.

Shumenov-Cloud is a very interesting fight.

Cloud most likely knocks Shumenov out. Beibut is an exposure waiting to happen.

Everyone there tonight loved this fight. I can't wait to see what happens next week with Dawson vs Pascal, but the winner should face Cloud for sure.

Hey Coach, were you there? 10,000 people in attendance... pretty impressive. How do you see the Dawon/Pascal fight?

[-EX-]

Style wise they don't fight alike...both don't mind physical scraps tho(old B-Hop)

Cloud aint gettin past Dawson though...whole diff skill level...Dawson is too smart to get tagged by Cloud and even if he does Cloud doesn't look a real good finisher to me...all his punches you can see coming and he rarely went to Glen's body when he had him hurt...

[Mr. Philadel]

St. Louis - Following his unanimous decision win over Glen Johnson, IBF light heavyweight champion Tavoris Cloud said that the difference between himself and IBO/interim WBC champion Chad Dawson - is that Dawson ran from Johnson, and he stood his ground with Johnson.
