In my opinion, this would be a hellaciously explosive fight. Maybe at a catchweight of 170, or the 175 limit or 168 limit (depending on if tavoris can make 168) Froch is the more relaxed one, who depends on a jab and boxing more, while cloud is a more explosive faster aggressive boxer. Cloud in my opinion has a slight edge in power overall. Both have shaky defense, with maybe cloud being more recklessly aggressive. Cloud is more athletically gifted of the two and is more orthodox as to Froch. Froch has a better more solid jab, as Cloud uses the jab more as a range finder for his explosive combinations. Cloud would be the aggressor more than likely while Froch would be on the backfoot trying to control the distance with his jab and unorthodox elusiveness. I don't think anyone would be in full control of this fight throughout. Knockdowns would be traded in my opinion, with a 70 percent chance or so of NOT going the full 12. Both have solid chins, you could say Froch may have the edge, but both have good recuperative abilties after getting stunned and usually answer right back. I think froch would control the first 2 or 3 rounds, but Clouds explosive bodywork (Froch does not handle body shots well) would wear Froch down, by the 5th or 6th round, Froch will then go into fight mode and a brawl will break out both men exchanging bombs with Cloud getting the better of it with his quicker hands. By about the 8th round it would be a war of attrition, with like I said before, knockdowns being traded. by the 10th round in my opinion, Froch would be heavily weakened by the bodyshots taken throughout the bout, and Cloud stops Froch on his feet. That's just my assessment, I think though the outcome would depend on what weight the fight is fought at, with Froch probably having an advantage at 168. Just a fantasy fight i thought of, your opinions?
