Light Heavyweight has been one of the worst weight classes in boxing for a while now. I said it hit an all time low when Pascal became champion, and after last nights fight that is reaffirmed more than ever.
Pascal is pretty amateurish and fights by flurring and then running, and his stamina is awful. the fact that he was running from a 45-46 year old is pretty sad. And its not like Hopkins has still looked good consistantly in his old age...his last fights against Jones and Ornelas he looked worse than ever. heck, Ornelas probably won more rounds against Hopkins than Pascal did(albeit no knockdowns).
lets not forget Pascal is a supermiddleweight flunkie either.
so who else is there? we have 168lb flunkie Brahmer, old man Jones, ducker Erdie, and Cloud and Dawson have been subpar recently.
who can be a real champ that can actually make light heavyweight decent again? Dustin Dirks is probably the best young 175 fighter I know of, and Cleverly isnt half bad either.
