Daxx, maybe if Clinton Woods showed class instead of constantly mocking Cloud's power or fouling him during the clinch then I am sure respect would have been mutual. Tavoris is all business in the ring, Woods fouled him repeatedly and as I stated before ON PURPOSE and that isn't good for business. If Tavoris got a brain bleed or something then his career would have been over and it's not like Cloud right now is equipped to do anything more than box.
He had a shitty attitude when he fought Gonzales as well...The reason for that was?Quote:

He gave Woods credit in the interview afterwards. What more you want?Quote:

Boxing is all he knows, but his manager should teach him how to behave after a fight so that he can show a bit of respect.
Like I stated mate I like his style of fighting and will make some exciting bouts but show some class
I expect a fighter at a world class level to not act like a punk kid who just came in off the street acting as if everyone around him is an asshole but himQuote:

There is nothing in the job description of boxer that says you have to be any nicer to someone than what the rules indicate. Woods hit him in the back of the head several times, he never retaliated, unless not touching gloves is somehow a worse retaliation than an actual foul.
Cloud acted no different than a young: Marvin Haggler, George Foreman, Joe Frazier, or Mike Tyson would have
Bad Attitude? I must have missed something. He is not cocky, really doesn't talk shit. He doesn't have an ego problem. Shit he comes into the ring and throws punches what else can be asked from him. I give him a good shot at Dawson.
Just watched it and it was an entertaining comepetitive fight. He'll be in some entertaining fights again, but won't be anything special IMO, getting tagged by 40% of Clinton's shots is just god awful.
Unless he's able to adapt he's not going to get very far getting hit that often. And he doesn't take it well either, he got marked up pretty good....he never got hurt but give it some time. Like I said, someone like Glen Johnson would give him hell.
