Who is the best Light Heavyweight in the world?

I'm impressed with the votes. I was expecting Dawson to be losing the votes because it seems that BSscene polls on here end up with posters choosing by heart but not by brain.

Chad Dawson is hands down the best LHW in the world.

When Pascal out boxes someone that has hand speed and is not one dimsensional, then let me know. He is a very talented fighter and very athletically gifted, but Dawson is on a whole different level than Diaconu. Lets not forget, that Pascal's fight against Froch was only a couple of months prior to the Diaconu fight. Did he become a master boxer in the matter of months? Or did he fight a slow plodder that only had a punchers chance?

I tell you what, I can see what Steelhead was getting at because I was impressed with Pascal against Diacconu. Really glad I watched that fight and would also recommend it. He looked a lot better than he did against Froch, I think he's looked back on the Froch fight, realised he was in range too often and from training with him has become a real in out boxer. It was a great to watch.

However, Diacconu was plodding around a little it seemed, and the fight was still relatively close. So your right, if he'd improved that much why still such a close fight against this guy, when he's getting out of range more too? You hit the nail on the head, his all round game is not that of Dawson's so I agree Dawson would take this one cleanly. I'm intrigued as to a Taylor-Pascal match-up though as they're both sound technically, ok ish power and good speed.

But yes Dawson takes it clearly, I just still have Hops beating him, and the only one getting close Cloud but he should continue to clean up LHW really.

I'd have to watch the fight again, but at the end I remember Diaconu getting pretty close and I was thinking he was going to KO him.

I don't know if you've been following the thread while you've been on your Hopkins hate-fest but I've been arguing that Dawson deserves to be ranked higher today. I won't pretend Bernard is some two-bit bum like you do but then again, objectivity isn't your strong suit when it comes to him.

yeah but you've been known to flip flop when it comes to me..lol

We're talking about fighters here, not dancers.

Why not you got Roy Jones in there. Anyhow why can you have huggers and not dancers?

I was surprised too. I would've thought it would be closer with BHop.
