    LHW is probably the lamest division at this point, with no up and coming talent. Dawson is going to dominate it. Most of the ranked fighters should be 1-2 fights from retirement.

    I doubt Dawson will pass Diaconu.

    LHW is lame because a bunch of hasbeens take the spotlight away for the deserving contenders. Hopkins, Tarver, Johnson and Jones should just go away. Erdei, Dawson, Briggs are the elite of the division.

    Yep. But also Erdei is 33 y.o who still has not fought a carrer defining fight, and I was never that high on Briggs. Somebody mentioned Adrian Diaconu, who appears to be a promising fighter that I forgot to include in my post but I am afraid that after the above 4 I ran out of names.

    The division is shaping up quite nicely imo, yes they lost Adamek, but Briggs and Hugo Garay (28-2) are about to get it on, Hopkins just entered the top 3 P4P, and Tarver vs Dawson is very close to being signed. :happy
