    Jack says that he's moving up to LHW. How do you think he does?

    I think he gets KO'd there. He got stopped by Edwards and dropped by DeGale at 168, and the LHW fighters are bigger and hit harder.

    It depends on who he fights. There are a lot of crude fighters at 175 that Jack can feast on like Hopkins did. I don't like his chances with skilled punchers though like Stevenson or Kovalev. Ward is also too smart and skilled for Jack.

    It's going to be rough at LHW... that division has the most killers

    Yep and his key attribute - other than being a good allrounder - is his size. That won't be a factor at LHW against any of the divisions key players bar Adonis.

    Put him in with Kovalev he'll move back to 168 in his next fight.

    7 more pounds of PED muscle for his frame will help. All the gear he has been shooting has turned him into a decent fighter despite all the message board dummies claiming it does nothing for fighters.

    Floyd has been loaning out his lucky I.V. bag.

    It was a flash knock down, more surprised than anything. He seems to have a solid chin, so it's hard to tell. With that said, I think the quality of opponents at 175 are not only better but hit harder. Jack is fundamentally sound and a workhorse. If he comes forward all the time like he did against Degale, Kovalev and Stevenson would probably KO him. Jack would do better against Ward but still lose.

    I became a Jack fan last night. The body work was beautiful. He cut off the ring well. Would watch him against anybody.

    Stevenson had his Edwards (Boone), so did Ward and Kovalev but they survived their scares.

    I think Jack is definitely bigger than Ward and its not like Stevenson and Kovalev are monsters in size. Some of the lesser known guys are much bigger than them.

    Size is the least of his worries at 175, these top guys hit so hard and have better hand and foot speed than Jack.

    Jack has been enrolled in VADA testing, DeGale wasn't.

    Most of the top LHWs are bigger so the physical advantages he now enjoys would be gone and they hit too hard.

    He will get killed in the light heavyweight division, Adonis is the lineal, , dude cracks, Beterbiev cracks, Kovalev the second monster cracks, and is a better boxer, Ward boxes well, smith Jr Cracks, He made a mistake here
