    Well Ward is still very young,have to see how his career goes

    I don't see anyone being where Hopkins is at 48. It is an admirable feat.

      A cloud win and another title would be a great way to retire,then he can take up training and teach the fundamentals to the next generation

        Him and floyd are cut from a different cloth hard to say if that kind of discipline can be had in this new era.

          Can't stand 'Nard. As a boxing fan I've watched his fights and have tried hard to appreciate him but his style is just too damn ugly and boring. Frankly I can't stand him and hope that Cloud does a number on him.

              I cant see Cloud beating Hopkins at all,his style is to easy to pick apart

                Unless B-Hope gets old overnight and is vulnerable to being outworked then I agree, his style is tailor-made for him.
