Something’s Going Right at Light Heavyweight

Yeah 175 is heating up. I'm excited.

[Gareth Ivanovic]

It seems that the LHW division has been stagnant for a while and with these fights getting signed it's a good shot in the arm.

175 is looking good.

175 is looking good because of Dawson and Calzaghe moving up. But I see Dawson as the new Bob Foster, not in styles, but just as dominant in that division like Foster was. I don't see anybody from 175 or below beating Dawson.

175 is the NEW 147.... All the big names will fight each other hopefully

I won't go that far. 147 has much younger talents that could go on in the sport for many years to come. Most of the top 175 pounders are over 35.

Johnson is an average fighter at best, but he deserves tons of credit for fighting a young lion like Dawson at 39yrs old. Meanwhile, Roy is trying to line up Oscar and Pacquiao. What a P4P legend.

Nice job Cliff. I agree, nice to see things once again pick up at 175. Three notable light heavyweigt fights in a seven day span, and most likely the winners of the April 12 Showtime card facing one another.

Hops-Calzaghe winner can have Roy if they want; the last man standing in the Showtime Final Four is my Light Heavyweight champ (yeah yeah, Erdei's the linear champ, but **** or get off the pot, already)

Erdei's reign is a joke...but the Hopkins-Calzaghe winner should rightly be seen a cut above the ShoFour (and like any of thre ShoFour wouldn't ditch that set to ride with Roy's PPV #'s).
