Tavoris Cloud

Looked very ordinary in Saturday's fight with a guy not even ranked in the top Fifty. Dawson is doing detriment not making this fight. The guy that Cloud beat was naturally smaller and was KO'd by Pavlik and Bute. Cloud has called out Chad, Chad should give him what he wants.

Just fight any of the names at 175 and Im good

Pascal, Hopkins, Dawson, Cloud, Shumenov/Brahmer winner, Diaconu, Cleverly, even Librado Andrade

And Zuniga only been stopped twice

Pavlik when he was on a tear at 160, TKO 9

And to Bute who scored a great body shot KO

I've got ZERO issues with a guy fighting a tune-up, stay active fight and looking less than 100%. I prefer they fight stay active, tune-up fights.

I know that and both times at a smaller weight. Cloud is supposed to be this KO artist. He's flat footed and fights in spurts the only fear he had was being able to KO people, doesn't seem to have the power people thought in the step in competition. This guy was put there for him to KO.

Sure but Cloud is trying to make a case that he is a contender to be the MAN. He needed IMO to KO this guy. I'm also getting on Dawson with my post that he should have made the fight once Cloud called him out.

Not IMO, had gone the distance in his last 2 fights

Johnson, Woods, and 10 rds of punishment before finally stopping Gonzalez

He's trouble for any of the LHWs right now

I think he's very ordinary. He was touted as a guy with huge power. KO'd his first 19 opponents before six rounds or something like that.

Agreed, but stays busy, keeps coming forward, and a good chin. He beat up Johnson pretty good.

High KO record is the result of healthy tomato can diet early in his career

I think I noted that. For the record he beat Johnson but Johnson did more damage than he should have. He also had a tough fight with an old Clinton Woods. I just don't think that Cloud is very special. His feet are slow and his defense sucks, he takes way too many big shots and seems soft in the body, Johnson was destroying his body. I want him and Chad to fight.

Idk, Chad might eat him up, might.

Im more likely to rely on the guy who brings it each time. He'll be on Timid Chad all night

These promoters suck now a days

Id love to see Arum and King running shit again

Fucking seagulls to the networks, hoping to find any crumb HBO/Showtime drops to them

Shaw & Schaefer begging for their guys to get a fight....smh

Gary Shaw promoting fights in Washington and Shaefer killing his prospects makes for networks to shy away from their fighters.
