I doubt he fights Cleverly. Why would he?

Cleverly has done literally nothing in his career and needs to step up a few levels.

That said, I'd expect Cleverly to pose more problems for Hopkins than Cloud.

Young hungry lion is an old ass phrase man, people were saying it decades before mayweather and not only in boxing.

The only reason I can imagine is because he has one of the belts (Some how)

That's the reason I can see for Hopkins wanting or taking that fight.

I don't want to see it because I can see Cleverly throwing and missing and "Outworking" him to a controversial decision.

Cleverly wants to catch him when he's finally lost it and get his name on his record.

After Hopkins beats Cloud I hope he retires.

Yusuf Mack's chin is literally made from glass.

I think that does a disservice to the tensile strength of glass~ plate glass is certainly tougher maybe that thin glass they make Christmas ornaments from.

Pascal hits harder than Cloud.

Cloud can punch and has some power obviously but like you said he's not stopping Hopkins with one punch I doubt he even hurts Hopkins at any point, he's way too slow.

And there's no way he lands on a consistent basis to give Hopkins any danger.

Pascal has more explosive power than Cloud but that doesn't mean Cloud doesn't have heavy hands. They key for Cloud is obviously letting his hands go and landing.

Listen, if Hopkins has anything left he'll school Cloud bad but 48 is 48, its hard to ignore that number and maybe being a big Hopkins fan that always gets nervous before his fights I'm worrying to much but he's old man, really old for boxing.

Yusuf Mack's chin is made from the same glass they had in the windows they used to use in WWF when the guy would throw them through it.
