This guy may that be that talented or skilled, but he is full of sheer will and ambition. He will be back...
he has neither will nor ambition...
he didn't have the will to gut it out against hopkins...
he lacks ambition because he thought hopkins was an easy target
Pascal needs to get a new trainer and put in practise other ways of fighting, thank his wannabe roy jones style he should work on his jab, work on counter punching, work on defence, work on drawing his opponent into an onslaught. Bernard is one of the most clever boxers in the game, so u can't totally wipe out Pascal, in the division i dont think any one could beat hopkins, chad dawson would give a close fight but i dont think he would beat b hop and cloud would just lose
Pascal needs a new trainer, his is whack and being linked to Russ Amber is a big joke. The reason why Canada sucks in Boxing? Russ Amber, hes like Americas Teddy Atlas.
Pascal is obviously very talented but he needs to work on his stamina.
You can thank Hopkins for that.
Pascal has went 12 rounds before in fights with higher pace without losing steam as badly as against Hopkins (both fights). He went through all 12 rounds with Ikeke, Diaconu (twice), Froch and Dawson.
Like I said, you can thank Hopkins for making Pascal look like a "4-round fighter". Hopkins gets in your head - making you angry, emotional and not least: make you miss a lot of punches. That takes a lot of energy out of you. Hopkins beat Pascal mentally already before both fights occurred.
Pascal burned a lot of energy on nothing against Hopkins.
Pascal vs. Cloud would be interesting.
He can also fight the loser of Froch vs. Johnson.
"Cloud"... now there's a (boxer's) name you don't hear too often these days. I remember just a few years back, a lot of people were hyping this guy as being the next best lhw champion. Fast forward two years later and there's seldom mention of him...
He needs to take Hopkins' advice and not waste his powerpunches and set them up properly. He just needs a top technical trainer and he'll be fine. He tends to look sloppy.
