    at the moment light heavyweight is one of the hottest divisions in boxing but i think in 2 years its going to be ridiculous

    you already have Stevson,Kovalev, Ward will probebly move up by then, Groves and Rodriguez too

    you then have lots of solid contenders like Bute,Pascal, Alvarez,Cloud, Braehmar,Dawson ect

    but what really is going to make this division is all the top class prospects coming through

    Egor Mekhontsev, Artur Beterbeiv, Oleksandr Gvozdyk, Marcus Browne, Damien Hooper, Yamaguchi Falcao and i can see Callum Smith moving up to light heavy too

    even at that you still Julio De La Cruz, Joe Ward and Adilbek Niyazymbetov 3 super talented fighter left in the amateurs still to turn over

    there is some huge fights that will happen here

    too be honest i havent heard of any of the prospects (shame on me) but i agree with what your saying, Degale may also move up aswell.

    There will be some massive fights at lhw end of next year early 2016! Cant wait mate

    seen him box live before i like him but i dont think he will get to world level european at best, he has a a lot of ground to make up to his 29 soon and he doesnt have that top class amateur background where he can be fast tracked

    in a differant time he might have had chance a world level but this division is too stacked

    HW also looks promising. You got the young contenders like Wilder and Tyson Fury, and the up and comers like Andy Ruiz, Anthony Joshua, and Hughie Fury.

    true but most of the best heavyweight prospects are still amateur ,Mezhidov, Dychko, Toicac, Omarov, Hrgovic

    then you have Savon who would make a great cruiserweight and heavyweight and Usyk as when he moves up
