    People seem to love these one dimensional tough bangers, but again and again quality has proven superior to brute force, and both Hopkins and Dawson are of higher quality.

    I've never seen anything special about Cloud whatsoever. Never understood what Lyle saw in him

    I don't think he'd beat Jean Pascal.

    Perhaps it was just a night off or a matter of style, I'd like to see him again against an interesting prospect before making a final statement on the matter.

    To be honest against Hopkins it all depends on Hopkins, he gets inactive enough in some situations he could lose on the cards and cry about being robbed.

    As for Dawson, I don't think he has the mental toughness of Campillo and I think he could get shaken and stopped by Cloud, if he gets caught with some of the shots Campillo got caught with in the first round I don't know that he has the mental fortitude to go on offense right away as opposed to moving away.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    This is true, but Cloud lost a lot of credibility in the Campillo fight, he shouldn't still be the Champion. At this point I don't see Cloud defeating any of the top Lt. heavyweights, he's gonna have to prove that he's still a live dog.

    I didn't think he could beat them but I did think he had a good chance. After watching his last performance I think he gets beat, or maybe he was just looking past Campillo.

    No but anyone can have a bad night, so maybe Hopkins.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
