    LHW is stacked. perhaps the most competitive division in boxing today.

    Overall I'd say Gvozdyk, but with the way he sometimes loses focus midfight it wouldn't shock me to see him take a loss to Beterbiev or Bivol.

    Good question bruce, in the absence of the Great Andre Ward who could run through through that entire line up I'm not sure who to pick.
    Joe Smith Jr. if he was on the list but other than that LHW needs to mix it up now. I told people those Soviets would never fight each other. It's gonna be Browne and Yarde vs 4 guys from the USSR.

    Andre ”low blow “ bored is gone and nobody wants him back .
    Joe was schooled by Bivol but you would pick him as the best LHW? Hahaha

    Willie is playing with his Willy. Possibly while watching replays of Joe Smith victories:risas3:

    Andre Ward never ran through anybody, his victories were ' strategic ' or maybe ' dastardly ' is a better word. He took the term ' winning ugly ' to a whole new level!

    Yarde should not be in the poll. I wouldn't even rate him as top 20.

    Bivol, then The Nail. Those two are separate from the rest. Beterbiev is a possibility but he hasn't really done much the past decade.

    Well, someone had to be the voice of reason! You lot are sleeping on Yarde, he's been feasting on nothing but LIONZ and is just biding his time before running through the entire division! Tunde told me so....

    Bivol has the most boxing ability but seems to lack the power and frame of the others.
