    Cloud is awesome I've been a huge fan of his for a long time but I think stylistically speaking, Cloud is an easier fight for the old man than say Chad Dawson is.

    Cloud struggles against movement, in particular lateral movement. He was struggling against Mack for a while before he caught Mack slipping with his hands down against the ropes that KO'd him.

    Bernard has GREAT lateral movement when he wants to (see kelly pavlik, etc.).

    Movement like that forces Cloud to punch a whole lot less than he does in his other fights, which is exactly what Hopkins would want to do - to slow down the pace. Add to that he's open to get hit, and I think the old man has enough trickery to beat the young hungry lion.

      He needs to stop ripping people off with the bullshit he pull in a lot of his fights. Ohhhh I'm Gangsta Bernard but any little adversity hurts me.

        Wow! A guy coming up 10+ pounds to fight him. Of course you're gonna move good on someone who you intimidate and outweigh by a lot. Specially if the other guy isn't special.

        Wait for it.........................................age response.

          Cloud isn't special either.

          Are you saying that Hopkins only beat Pavlik because of a "weight" advantage ?

              Man with guys like Roy Jones Jr, Evander, and James Toney still fighting...and even Rid**** Bowe talking about a comeback...BHop should be the least of our concerns.

                  You are exactly right about the Cloud fight I think, its a stylistic mismatch as Cloud has trouble with lateral movement and being hit with counters while B-hop has great footwork and is a great counter puncher.

                  Cloud would eat over hand rights and left hooks all night and would possibly be stopped late.
