How good is Jean Pascal?

[Mersey]

The bad thing is, he got outboxed by Froch when Froch started boxing.

That can't be good? Froch is a brawler, not a boxer. His jab won the fight.

Not nuthugging here but Froch's jab is way underrated, he did beat Taylor many times to the jab.

Still I'd like to see Pascal do more.

He'd beat Jermain Taylor, put it that way. He'd knock Taylor out quicker than Froch IMO. Fantastic chin.

And what does Pascal's chin have to do with how quickly he would KO JT?

Well, he's up on the 25th Sep against his mandatory to defend his belt against Silvio Branco, a 43 year old...
Funny though that this 43 year old may actually give him some problem the first 4-5 rd's, known to be tough.

I think being on hostile ground combined with it being his biggest fight caused Pascal to fight a bad fight against Froch. That also made the fight hugely entertaining.

He looked much more focused in his fight with Diaconu. I also think he could beat Froch in a rematch.

He is a good overall fighter than can do a bit of everything. He can box, but loves to brawl. He also gets hit alot also, gets shaken but so far has recovered well.

I think he would hand Cloud his ass and stop him. Cloud is just too crude in there.

Pascal has really quick hands for his size and is a really good body puncher, I love this KO.

[Dragon Punch]

He's a very strong, iron chinned brawler type. No real boxing skills in my opinion - will be beat by guy's with a good jab and general skills etc.

Pascal is from my country, I really support boxer from Quebec, but I gotta tell you that Pascal's chin ain't fantastic,far from that, he's been stunned by Pittman,Norman(2 journeyman), got stunned against Diaconu too and Nievas. I dunno what happened,but he had an excellent chin when fighting Froch and it's the only fight that people saw from him lol.

Other than that, he moved up to 175 because he had absolutely no chance of having a belt at 168. He challenged Lucian Bute, but Bute is superior in almost every aspect. He was supposed to fight Miranda, both were fighting on the same card, Pascal against Pittman and Miranda against Banks. Pascal did a below-average fight and Miranda did an excellent 3rd round knockout of Banks( lot of analyst said it was KO of the year.) So I think his manager told him that he wasn't ready for Miranda at this point of his career.

He is a speed kills type of fighter and has good lateral movement in addition to deceptive power in spite of his ko%.....he needs to work on his defense and keeping his hands up.....he would UD Cloud if they fought now, but be schooled by Dawson.

The reason Pascal moved up was because he couldnt make 168 anymore his fight before Diaconu against Nievas was at 170lb. He looked ok against Pittman but then got caught when moving straight back and didnt look so good after. Since then he has improved in ever fight. I was impressed in his Froch and Diaconu fights. I dont think he would beat Dawson though.
