Comments Thread For: Chad Dawson-Jean Pascal: The Pre-Fight Report Card

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Cliff Rold - There are titlists and then there are champions. Boxing has plenty of the latter but only a handful of the former across boxing’s seventeen weight divisions. Saturday, short of a draw, boxing will have one more.

This is the sort of fight anyone who loves the sport can get excited about. Despite an (over)abundance of skilled, older fighters who were able to hang around longer than usual in this era, boxing is often at its best when it is a young man’s game. Battles between established names can make grand theatre at any stage but younger men bring something extra. [Click Here To Read More]

ooooh im excited. I hope the canadian boy comes through. boxing in canada needs a boost. a win over bad chad will really put his name on the map around here

WAR PASCAL.

hate how bad chad is looking past a VERY capable Pascal for a big money fight against smaller Bute. If Pascal wins he can use Montreal as a base and collect belts and clean out the division.

There is a rematch clause for either side though.

I hope you're right Cliff. I can't see Pascal winning outside of a stoppage victory.

The world will see how wrong boxingscene's pick is. Bad Chad Dawson is not a myth.

You're giving Dawson too little credit and forcing the issue as far as skill goes, Chad is on another level. They might be close in talent, but intangibles and physical advantages, Dawson clearly edges him and it will show in the fight.

Dawson is bigger, stronger, and faster and in the fact that he's more skilled and you have someone that's on another level regardless of where they're at. I'll take Dawson and won't give it a second thought.

You're selling Dawson short, he might not be there yet, but at the end of the day, this kid is going to be in a class of his own.

IDK Cliff, I just can't see Pascal winning this other than badly hurting Chad taking him out or a hometown decision.

As you stated he was outboxed, by Carl Froch..............

You guys got David Lemieux....

They also have Lucian Bute who I personally consider much better than Pascal.
