    I'm not sure Carl has many fights left in him to be honest. He's at that age where time could catch up with him at any moment. If he beats Bute I think he'll want to fight the winner of Kessler-Steiglitz, and unless he can get a big pay day from a Pascal rematch or fight Clevely in the UK or Hopkins in America I'd like to see him retire.

      Hey whats good Pug? Personaly i think Carl would try to box Cloud very similar to the way he fought Alex Abraham, granted Cloud throws more punches and is more aggressive but he is very limited. I go for Carl by close ud (unless it is a Don King card lol)

        Froch is the man! I'd pick him to take Cloud apart so long as King isn't allowed to intervene. Would be a great fight.

Moreover, he just nicked it against Johnson. . . Froch has NEVER been "exposed" by a style like Clouds. . . .

          I just don't agree. . . I would sure like to find out, though.
          It wouldn't suprise me 1 bit of Froch/Cloud looks like Froch/Johnson..
          And that's being completely real. He's also looked ****ty against anyone who moved laterally even a little bit. Cloud moves in straight lines, doesn't know what a sidestep is and barely ever pivots.

          It really wouldn't suprise me. But I love the guy for his grit - but honestly, he's nothing more than a better conditioned version of Shumenov, hence the reason why Campillo/Cloud looked EXACTLY like Campillo/Shumenov.
