Clinton Woods Vs. Tavoris Cloud

[ICB]

Clinton Woods is a lot like Julio Gonzales, who I believe Cloud defeated. Both are really tough guys, and former top contenders, Woods even held a belt, but they are past their best.

Woods should give Cloud a good fight for a while, but he's probably gonna get stopped.

Cloud by TKO.

Your right about that Julio Cesar Gonazalez for certain reminds me of Clinton Woods same height, size, ETC. I was impressed that Tavoris Cloud was able to stop Julio Cesar Gonzalez who is very durable.

This is a fighter that went 12 rounds with RJJ, Dariusz Michalczewski, and he even beat Dariusz Michalczewksi. And i think that proves Tavoris Cloud's power is for real even though Julio Cesar Gonzalez is past it, its still an impressive stoppage win to have under your belt.

Clinton Woods has done very well getting better since getting destroyed by RJJ in 2002, but he still isn't world class. Even though he's beat a few good fighters. I think this fight for Tavoris Cloud is the right one.

And i think he will for certain stop Clinton Woods, who isn't getting any younger at 37. And a young hungry guy like Tavoris Cloud should be able to stop Clinton Woods, and i would be a little bit suprised if he didn't stop Clinton Woods. Even though Clinton Woods is pretty durable. I can't really see him doing much better than Julio Cesar Gonzalez.

Definately think Woods is past it.. not that I think he ever had it. He's another boxer from the UK who has been made to look world class due to smart promoting, but has came up lacking in the top class fights. Don't think he has the drive anymore either, looked like he was giving zero effort in the Tarver fight. Don't get me wrong I think woods is a good fighter and will put up a good fight.. i'll be keeping an eye out for this fight.

Who is world-class at lightheavy if Woods isn't? There can only be a few fighters in front of him - Hopkins, Dawson, Tarver, Johnson (Woods has beaten him), Roy...

Woods is better than Gonzales - he's beat him twice.

Anyway.. Woods is getting too past it now, he was beyond crap against Tarver, looked OK last time, but a 27-year-old sparko artist must be bad news for him at this stage.
