    LHW is one of the worst divisions in boxing

    seriously. I knew it was pretty bad, but this fight is the icing on the cake. No offense to people who like Pascal, but he didnt look good either. Wide open half the time, gassed for half the fight, and his whole strategy was flurry and run.

    who else is in the division?
    Zsolt 'I dont fight top ten fighters, thank you' Erdie
    40+ year old guys that were there 5 or more years ago
    Shumenov, who owes Campillo a rematch badly
    and Tavoris Cloud.

    Seriously. A so-so 168lber Pascal is on top of the division. and this isnt the first time. Yusaf Mack came up to 175lbs and did well too, and he was...subpar at 168.

    its a poor division. I really quite surprised how bad Dawson looked. I never thought he was THAT good, but goodness gracious.

    I agree, the lhw division is all about finesse boxing with too much defense and not enough offense and good KOs far and few between.....

      Overrated like 140 because there are american young stars.
      Dawson isn't that good,get beat by Pascal and Johnson.
      Cloud is trash.

      Great divisions are 147 and 168.

      They call the HW division trash,but I have more respect for dedicated fighters,and killers like the Klits than those young fake slick asses like Dawson and Devon.

        sadly it's true. Dawson is mediocre. Pascal is ok. It's just a bad division period.

            Yeah he would, then he'd get discredited after beating everyones ass like he normally did. Calzaghe was and probably is still unappreciated.

              Both the Klitschko brothers are far above the norm for the HW division though. the rest of the division is pretty sad.

              but at least the HW division has two really good fighters, while LHW...is ruled by Pascal?!?! oh geez...

                Nathan Cleverly is a talented up-and-coming light heavyweight.

                    Dustin Dirks seems to be pretty good too. hopefully they can fix up the division.
