Who is the best Light Heavyweight in the world?

[IMDAZED]

...or dawson right now

No, as of right now I don't think so.

[djtmal]

No, as of right now I don't think so.

oh you do? lol...

who has hopkins beat recently that supports that he can even last 12 rounds with dawson, given that dawson's last 3 fights have been against tough vets...please don't say pavlik or i'll lose all respect for you...

[STEELHEAD]

i contend that most think of the dumb fight pascal fought against froch
when they think of ltwt belt holder pascal

i contend that pascal when he went up to ltheavy like blossumed into a new and improved mucho skilled boxer.
please watch the pascal/diaconu. please. this is not idle talk.
prove me wrong.

imo chad dawson is in new territory when he gets into the ring with pascal.
i go a step further and say i think cruiserwt diaconu who went down to lthvy to fight pascal, would beat dawson.
diaconu may be short but he's built like a buick! he's a beast.

because of this dawson/johnson rematch instead of a pascal/dawson
we now have to wait further.
and pascal i feel made a dangerous move fighting diaconu again in december.
hey since most here wasn't interested when pascal fought diaconu last time, you better get off your high horses and view this rematch. no foolin!

i think it will add more perspective to what dawson will have to contend with. and believe me dawson will not get away with that beatifull style he exibited against johnson with these guys.

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.

[boxasmash]

Dawson, obviously... Hopkins has no claim whatsoever.

[Enzo Mc is SHIT]

Jeff Lacy.

[dans]

Jeff Lacy.

Not a poll option but I gotta give it to you, it's original.

1 vote for Jeff "Left Hook" Lacy.

[Clyde Barrow]

Criticize him if you must, but Chad Dawson is the top fighter at 175.

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?
