Comments Thread For: Inside the Top Ten: The Light Heavyweight Division

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

For large parts of boxing history, Light Heavyweight struggled to be a consistently great class because its greatest fighters had their eyes on another prize. Gene Tunney and Ezzard Charles never got around to winning the title, instead capturing the honors up high when opportunity arose. Billy Conn might have reigned for years but chose to chase “The Brown Bomber.” Archie Moore spent more time in contention with the big men than defending his 175 lb. crown. Bob Foster was as famous for Heavyweight disappointments as Light Heavyweight dominance. Michael Spinks unified the titles and stuck around just long enough to catch the attention of Larry Holmes.

LHW is starting to be an exciting division again after a while, things get in place, and there are good title holders and a solid champion in Pascal

Artur Beterbiev - they better watch out for this guy. If he turns pro, he'll have a Klitschko effect - people going to be CW's, HW's and SW's.

LHW division is getting more interesting

[Gypsy John Fury]

Nathan Cleverly is the future of 175. Then he'll go to Cruiser and dominate that division. He's a great talent.

I agree with Shumenov's position.

He gets no respect from me until he gives Campillo a rematch.

But having seen how one sided the 2nd fight was, I find it hard to imagine how much worse Gabriel can whoop his ass. He was ROBBED.

How the WBA just let that decision fly is beyond me. As bad a robbery as there has ever been. P.M Jarman and J Roth shouldnt be allowed to judge again after that.

How is Pascal the lineal champ? Especially since Cloud was a top undefeated LHW with somewhat of a small case to be ranked ahead of Pascal.

Wait I thought Pascal-Dawson was just for the Ring title?

Zsolt Erdei shall return and rain holy hell on the division.
