Just like my previous thread.. The light heavy's are another concern.. A lot of good names, but apart from Kovalev fighting Ward twice and Pascal recently... Not many big fights have taken place..

So which of the current LHW's are on a good run of opponents, win or lose.. Again, they don't have to be elite.. But just opponent's that you would agree are credible.. I'm going to leave the poll open so you can pick more than one boxer.

Let's say a minimum run of 3 opponents.. If anymore, then great.. See how we get on..

ps. You can include scheduled bouts..

Kovalev is a given

The rest a some way off his stretch of fights

I see Adonis has a vote. Probably the same guy who voted wilder in the heavyweight one

You can't deny Joe Smith a vote in this..

Fonfara, Hopkins, Barrera.. All three are credible opponents. TBH, we didn't know what we were going to see of Hopkins.

Consider where Smith was before Fonfara. Yes, Hopkins hadn't fought in 2 years and was 50 years old, but he did well in that fight too. He managed to knock Barrera down, but then a broken jaw earlier on ended the fight for him.

Yes smith has had a good run too. I only just saw you could vote for more than one person

Rumour that Stevenson's facing Jack, who I think has the most impressive last few fights on record, even if they were at SMW.

If we don't see the belts in the hands of capable fighters like Gvodzyk, Beterbiev and Kovalev, it could be another frustrating year for LHW. Think it would make for a tasty Super Series.

If Kovalev vs Shabransky is for the WBO belt, I would hope they'd force the winner into a fight with Gvodzyk afterwards. Bivol vs Alvarez is another fighter in the works apparently!

IBF all wrapped up too this weekend. Beterbiev/Koelling.
