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.
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.
my top 10 1. Bernard Hopkins 2. Zsolt Erdei 3. Chad Dawson 4. Glen Johnson 5. Clinton Woods 6. Antonio Tarver 7. Paul Briggs 8. Julio Gonzalez 9. Hugo Garay 10. Adrian Diaconu
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.
1. Bernard Hopkins 2. Chad Dawson 3. Zsolt Erdei 4. Adrian Diaconu 5. Clinton Woods 6. Paul Briggs 7. Antonio Tarver 8. Stipe Drews 9. Roy Jones Jr 10. Thomas Ulrich
1. Bernard Hopkins 2. Chad Dawson 3. Zsolt Erdei 4. Clinton Woods 5. Paul Briggs 6. Antonio Tarver 7. Stipe Drews 8. Roy Jones Jr 9. Adrian Diaconu 10. Thomas Ulrich Head-to-head I'd switch Dawson and BHop.
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
