    I'm willing to bet he's had his last win over somebody relevant.

    Eleider is solid IMO a very good contender, I'll check back over CSTs threads to see what any specific criticism is about. Thing is he'll need to be goddamn flawless given the deluge of talent suddenly inundating the division.

    I almost feel sorry for Kovalev. If he'd just broken out a year or two ago he coulda had a coupla of relatively uneventful years at the top and a string of meh..ish title defenses, but instead (and likely in part because of his own success) LHW is becoming the blazing hot division in the sport.

    I just did a thread on Alvarez I'm trying to fill some of the blanks, I have no idea what he's talking about, I think he's decent.

    Can you imagine this had been a pretty weak division pre Kovalev and Stevenson?! Now it's gonna be downright incredible in the coming years! :bbb

    Ward will go soon and dominate it just as he did 168.

    Nobody there has the skills to beat him, not even close.

    The LHW will be one to watch. Most of the guys you listed are hard punchers.

    Dawson would have been destroyed by most of these guys, this is a new and brutal division reborn, Ward and his questionable chin would be shattered into a million pieces by most of these guys, although I do give Ward a good shot at beating GGG if he moves up to SMW.
