Who is the best Light Heavyweight in the world?

[Pugilistic™]

He certainly did. And looked his age in those final three rounds. Kinda like how he looked against Wright. Hopkins was outmanned in that fight. He may have won on some cards but he certainly didn't look like the winner to me.

From what i remember, Hopkins outworked Wright in the later rounds.

Dawson is the best light heavyweight right now, and willing to fight everyone in the division.

Jones is probably the most talented fighter I have ever seen, but that was 10 years ago.

Hopkins is 45 years old, but still a master boxer. He can not keep up with a fast pace though hence his 45 years of age.

Tarver is a one hit wonder enough said.

Cloud has a bright future, but hasn't fought anyone of note except Clinton Woods.

Pascal is probably the third best light heavyweight behind Dawson and Hopkins. I still don't know how the hell he lost to Froch.

Erdei is not going to fight anyone with a pulse, or out of his country for that matter.

Calzaghe is retired and will soon be forgotten.

Maybe. Unfortunately, I can't bring myself to watch it again. Nevertheless, I thought Hopkins looked weary in the latter rounds. Winky looked weary from the opening bell.

So Hopkins isn't as good as Hagler and Leonard. Ok.

...or dawson right now

thats about right...that fight should have been a draw... no conclusive winner imo...golden boy stacked the deck on wink...he should have bitched to the camera like malignaggi and lobbied for a rematch...

Hopkins is the proven current best light heavy weight.

Until he is beaten by Dawson, etc or anyone else then he's not.

Till that day, which I doubt will come and if it does Hopkins beats anyone.

He's already ruined the career of one young gun.

Bring on Dawson!

Wink had no business any higher than 168 anyway. At 154 Wink was cut and he was a monster. At 170 you start seeing those love handles.
