    Cloud will be effected, unless he has the same sort of discipline that Hopkins claims to have (and I don't know for a fact that he goes to bed at 10pm every night, and avoids parties like he claims. Pascal looked chiseled but is a known late night party type. It's the little things that count like getting the proper rest after a tough workout.)

      You can bet your ass that the PED allegations will become very vocal again once Hopkins schools Cloud. Regardless of how gaunt he's looking.

        BHOP will shock the critics again. By no means will it be a stroll in the park for EX but I see this resembling Hopkins/Pavlik. Hopkins takes Cloud to school through 12.

          I wouldn't be surprised if Cloud wears him down and wins by KO
          Cloud was out on his feet from exhaustion against Campillo. He is chiseled sure but he doesn't have the cardio to sustain for 12 rounds because of those muscles.

            Hard to bet against Hopkins but I think we have to real here guys. This man is too old. Seriously, he is too old to be fighting a young guy like this. In the opinion of most, Cloud aint ****, I know but Hopkins is damn near 50 yrs old!!!! I got Cloud winning off the fact that Bernard is just too old for him. 10yrs ago, Hopkins would flame Cloud. Problem is, this isn't 10yrs ago.

              Not many dudes pushing 50 look as good as Hopkins.

                Whats crazy is that this is a totally winnable fight for Bhop.

                Can you imagine??

                  Winnable? He seems to be the favorite. It seems impossible for someone his age, but here we are.

                    BH didnt neccesarily fight better when he was younger.
                    I sincerely hope you're a troll.

                    But I get the sense that you're just that ******.

                      Don King is a ****. He ruined Tyson. And Cloud is not fighting often enough and that is also Don kings fault. Cloud would be much better if he would fight 3 times a year. But hes only fighting once a year and you cant improve when you are fighting once a year.
