    I'm not quite sure why Boxrec have Lawrence at #10. He has decent KO wins over Whitaker, Estrada and Gavern, but he hasn't been in with anyone I'd consider top 40.

    Lawrence is 36 so needs to step things up fast. It looks like his team are trying to do that as he is fighting Mike Mollo for the vacant NABA belt on May 18th, which will get him a decent WBA ranking and possible shot at Povetkin. Mollo hasn't fought since August 2010 and has not really done anything of note except beating Kevin McBride shortly after he beat a very shot Tyson.

    There is no footage of Lawrence on Youtube, incredibly for a top 10 HW. Does anyone know how good he is, would he have a shot at beating Povetkin, as that looks like what his team are aiming for.
