    Impressive, definitely very impressive.

    Clouds terrible, really he is. He's one of the worst "world class" fighters I've ever seen.

    But he does have a decent chin and this guy Beterbiev clearly packs a punch.

    In his 6th fight to take him out in 2 Is impressive.

    But wow, Cloud, wow. He's so terrible.

      Like I said in the RBR thread though, LMAO at people who wanted to see Kovalev/Cloud.
      Make it happen!

      I want to see Cloud get taken out in 1 aswell.

        One more top 10 win for Beterbiev and then a title shot should be in order. He's approaching 30 so time is ticking. The light heavyweight division can use all the help they can get at this point and Beterbiev should be handled accordingly. Beat one more top 10 fighter and then get a title shot against the Hopkins/Kovalev winner. Beterbiev vs Kovalev would be great.

          looks to pack real power in close range. i see him as a bad style match up for stevenson and kovalev when he reaches that stage.

            Come on, man, you got the early KO. You don't want to cripple the poor guy with another, do you?

            I swear people were arguing that Cloud would be the best fighter Kovalev had ever fought. That he should have to beat Cloud to earn a Stevenson fight. This was this year, after Stevenson left for Showtime. Sometimes NSB is too much even for me.

              I can't believe Cloud was actually hyped at one point. After going life and death with Glen Johnson in 2010 I think it was, I thought Cloud lost that fight. And people were hyping him up I just couldn't believe it.

              He looked like **** against a 700 year old Clinton Woods.

              Was arguably losing to Yusuf Mack before the stoppage. Yusuf Mack aka my chin is worse than Enzo Macrinelli's.

              He's literally never beaten a decent fighter.

              Bellew and Cleverly would have beaten this guy, with ease.

                But IMO Kovalev-Beterbiev would be a close fight I mean one of them would KO the other but I don't know which one. As for Stevenson, don't write him off yet. He is a very good counterpuncher who can sens to sleep everyone with one single straight left and he is also athletic and pretty fast, but his defense is weak which can be very bad against a big puncher. And Hopkins... I don't know he is older day by day but since I thik he will beat Kovalev we will see and after that I can predict that how good the Alien would do against Beterbiev.

                But as for Ward. Ward is on another level than this version of Hopkins, Kovalev, Stevenson, even Golovkin, and pretty much everybody (there are a few exceptions like Rigo for example)
                lol Ward my foot, he fights in a weight class below. The guy has never fought at 175 in the pros, he gets folded. He's living off fantasy hype right now.

                I can't stand people hanging onto boxers either won't fight or won't fight the best and right now that's Stevenson and Ward. They get to stay in the conversation by virtue of not doing anything.

                  Look Ward did more in pro terms than any of these fighters at 175 or 168 not named Hopkins so "hyping up" Ward is way more sober thing than hyping up an upcoming talent who has 6 wins so far even is he is impressive.

                    Ward did whatever he did at 168...years ago, not at 175.

                    He won't fight in 2014 and fought once in 2013 against the #8 SMW.

                    He doesn't get a fantasy nod over LHW fighters because frankly he hasn't earned it. In fact, he openly turned down Stevenson and Kovalev fights. He gets nothing in terms of credit over top 175lb opponents.

                      Hopefully HBO gets Artur but even if they don't they'll still have Kovalev, Mekhontsev and Gvozdyk LHW will be theirs in the future.
