    Who is the best in the LHW division? Jean Pascal, Bernard Hopkins or Chad Dawson?

    In fact, even put the fighters in order....

    Mine are
    1) Hopkins
    2) Dawson
    3) Pascal..... Pascal beat Dawson fair and square but will lose to Hopkins IMO... unless Hopkins gases... and I think Dawson can beat both and will beat either when he gets the chance but right now he can't say he's better than Hopkins, Hopkins is the man right now...

    I rank them

    Pascal
    Hopkins
    Cloud
    Dawson
    Shumenov
    Campillo
    Braemer
    Cleverly
    Diacanou


    I think hopkins deserved the decision but it aint a robbery so I keep pascal top with hopkins second. After dawson's woeful performance last time out he drops below cloud, and would have dropped below the winner of shumenov - braemer had it come off.

    I won't disagree with you about the Dawson thing.. but I still think he'd beat Pascal in a rematch.. Pascal just doesn't seem conditioned and doesn't keep his composure when he's get it given to him.. like the B Hop fight.

    I really like the 175 division. I think it, shortly behind 118 and 168 are the best in the sport.

    Technically, I'd give it to Pascal, as he has not lost the top spot after having gained it. However, I don't think he is the best fighter in the division.(If that makes any sense.)

    In spite of Dawson's **** poor performance in his last outing I sill think he is the best in the division. And yes, I believe he would beat Hopkins. He's to much like a giant Jermain Taylor to lose to BHop.

    Now, if Hopkins and Dawson fight, DO NOT expect me to pick against Hopkins:nono

    That sounds like I'm contradicting myself, but everytime BHop is suppose to lose he pulls one more stunning performance out of his ass!!

    I completely agree man....

    That's what I'm saying...

    Right.. just how Casamayor was lineal champ in LW but we all felt Juan Diaz at the time was better along with Nate Campbell.... Pascal truly ain't the best man.. it doesn't look like he is when he's fighting...:good

    :huh It seems a lot better than the HW and CW divisions... guess you'd rather see a European on top holding the title hostage??
