Punch Power: 0 | | Light Heavyweight Division -89 With Chad proving he is not all that, Tarver and Woods sending many to sleep, Danny Green opting out, is there anyone out there who can lift the current Light Heavyweight division? |

Punch Power: 0 | | Re: Light Heavyweight Division He is just too old, he has always been a tough warhorse (Apart from when he went through some problems) at 39 years old is he really going to do anymore than what we have seen of him |

Punch Power: 0 | | Re: Light Heavyweight Division Yeah I think so as well, was thinking Kessler and Bute but may be too small, need a bigger frame, heard Yusaf Mack is looking to make waves in the division, if he has has the right preparation certainly has the ability, Lacy is finished, Froch is too skinny and in my opinion is going to lose when he gets a decent challenge, Andrade too small, Not really sure there is anyone else, any thoughts? |

Punch Power: 2 | | Re: Light Heavyweight Division i dont think its such an issue for froch being skinny, his power could hurt any LHW.. Pavlik will b a LHW one day as well |

Punch Power: 0 | | Re: Light Heavyweight Division Roy Jones looked good again last time out, albeit against a much smaller man. Calzaghe will show his who's boss. After that though it seems a pretty boring division. Thought Dawson was supposed to be the new star? Was the first time i'd seen him fight against Johnson. He didn't really look up for it. |

Punch Power: 40 | | Re: Light Heavyweight Division I don't think Chad proved he "isn't all that" by any means. I thought Johnson probably deserved the nod in their fight but I was rooting for Glen big time and Dawson did a lot of things well..Chad is still an excellent young talent. Everyone has tough fights where things don't go all their way, and Johnson is an extremely tough fight for anyone at LHW. There isn't a fighter in the world who you couldn't pick at their record to find a particular fight early in their career where they didn't look all that.

Punch Power: 0 | | Re: Light Heavyweight Division I think Cazalghe will be hanging up the gloves after he beats RJJ, Froch is over rated |

Punch Power: 80 | | Re: Light Heavyweight Division Adrian Diaconu is pretty exciting and could really get the division going. Glen Johnson showed he has some years left IMO. Juergen Braehmer has some heart and real power. Pavlik could easily move up. Froch while not a world beater IMO has enough power to give him a punchers chance in every fight. Woods, even though he was schooled by Jones and lost 3 times to Johnson is a great gatekeeper.
All in all this should be the first division to form a senior league, 40+ |

40+ League I like it lol, Diaconu didn't look too impressive over Chris Henry recently, but is undefeated and will be a threat, Chad Dawson is still a decent prospect but he is too easily drawn into a fight and although his conditioning have got him through a few scares his chin will let him down. Pavlik, it's a big jump from middleweight, not sure there is much in it for him taken that step, he makes the middleweight limit far easier than most, Braehmer is a decent domestic and Euro fighter but may get a shock on the world class scene. From sources I here Woods is looking to call it a day |
