Who's the world's best light heavyweight right now?

[The Hammer]

Much will be decided in the division during the next couple of weeks:

WBC title (Dawson or Johnson)
WBC interim title (Diaconu or Henry)
Ring and Linear Champion (Calzaghe or Hopkins)
IBO title (Tarver or Woods)
IBF title (Tarver or Woods)
WBO title (Erdei or Abron)

Lots of action at light heavyweight!

Hopkins I suppose.

Chad will get KO'd soon, and ill be laughing.

I agree, I think Dawson will get exposed and KO'd soon, I won't be surprised if Johnson knocks him out, I actually have money on Johnson and points on him.....I am not sold on Dawson yet at all, his 2 biggest wins were decisions over a weight drained Tomasz Adamek and a washed up Eric Harding...Dawson was knocked down and hurt in both of those fights, he has a suspect chin.

Hopkins officially. Soon to be Calzaghe in less then 2 weeks.

Pretty much agree with this. I think Dawson has potential to go on to great things though, I just can't side with him over Hopkins untill he achieves a bit more.

light heavyweight is a very shallow division right now and its pretty much up for grabs. im actually a fan of dawson and think hes probably the future.

Whoever wins Joe C v B-Hop will be the best. Bernard is number 1 right now. Dawson will be the man soon if he stays at the weight cuz he's young and talented, but he ain't the top dog yet.
