Malaise at Light Heavyweight

October 23, 2012 by Paul Magno Leave a Comment

Malaise at Light Heavyweight

The light heavyweight division is no longer the weight class that brought us talents such as Roy Jones Jr. and Michael Spinks or hardcore legends like Archie Moore and Bob Foster. Over the years, the 175 lb. class has morphed into some sort of odd boxing limbo, full of photo ops and media-directed tough talk about bouts that nobody really has any intention of making.

One More Time: Bernard Hopkins vs. Chad Dawson…and the World

On paper, Bernard Hopkins (52-5-2, 32 KOs) shouldn't beat Chad Dawson (30-1, 17 KOs) this Saturday at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. But, on paper, nothing Hopkins has been doing recently has made sense. In December of 2010, a 45-year-old Hopkins was supposed to be cashing out of a 22-year career, flown in to Quebec to be sacrificed to 27-year-old WBC light heavyweight … [Read more...]
