I do think Cloud gets hit way too much, but he's never shown ill effects from it other than swelling maybe a few cuts, but he hasn't to my knowledge really been hurt by anyone. I just think given the age of Hopkins a come forward no matter what type of fighter like Cloud could really hurt him. Cloud needs to move his head and improve his defense, but I think he's good enough to unify 175.
You put Pascal in with Cloud I think Cloud mops the floor with him, same with Dawson...those guys couldn't handle his pressure. Hopkins is the only one I think that could trouble Cloud and that's because B-Hop is a cagey fighter, he knows when to attack and when to lay back, he knows how to wear someone down and his power is usually underrated by his opponent.

i don't think Cloud can hurt him for two reasons, IMO Pascal never really even hurt Hopkins, one KD was cause of a shot behind the head and the other was a flash KD, he was never really hurt, and Cloud throw's too many winging shots, he didn't impress me at all in his last performance and i'd actually give Hopkins the edge in handspeed meaning he'll be able to counter every time Cloud would miss, frustrating him and making him fight even sloppier than he did last time out
i'd pick Hopkins for a UD win over Cloud

I'm stuck on when Pascal actually 'hurt' HopkinsGoing by the belief that a guy is only as good as his last fight I think Hopkins is too deep for still developing Cloud. He'd have a early rush but with his straight frontal attack I think Hopkins would leash him into some hurtful shots, frustrate him big with breaking his momentum.
