    Can Cloud bounce back?

    Fairly weak division like...

    Can he bounce back? B-Hop has some uncanny ability of ruining young champions.

    Eastman, Pavlik, Lipsey, Mercado, Taylor etc etc maybe even Dawson lol
    They never seem to be the same again

    Probably a lot is coincidental but a lot of these guys either retire after, get injured/lose or just seem to not be anything like what they once was.

    Cloud didn't get beaten up badly or anything but B-Hop seemed to really get into his head. When he adjusted his shorts & ate a left hook, Hopkins turning him & holding back, making him miss & taunting him etc
    He seriously got into Clouds head. B-Hop doesn't miss a trick, he was playing with him, made him look ******ly inexperienced.

    Can Cloud come again or has B-Hop taken another young champions soul?

    He'll be back as a mediocre fighter in a poor division; may pick up a strap.

    He'll return to being a mediocre fighter in a poor division.

    Unlike Pavlik and some others, he wasn't badly beaten. The cards were pretty wide, but the rounds were close and he didn't take any punishment.

      I don't think so.

      175 isn't too strong so could see him possibly getting a title but anytime he fights a good quality fighter he will lose.

      He's one of the worst recent champions in Boxing.

        with the right matchmaking cloud can get some more wins. against top guys he's not going anywhere, though.

          He looked like a club fighter, may be time for a change in his corner.

            Bounce back from what? Nothing changed hes still the same exact fighter he was against Hopkins and will always be. He didn't take a beating. He'll be the same guy. An average, dumb fighter.

              i've been high on Tavoris but his performance vs Campillo and now Bhop have changed my opinion. He still has a chance to beat some top guys but he seems to be digressing.

                He'll be an exciting fighter if matched against the right opponent (Pascal, Kovalev, Shumenov) but he'll lose against skilled boxers.
