dude, Kessler tapped Froch up...AA will ko him for the first time...he ain't breaking any ribs, he is getting laid out.After Pascal beat up on the timid Dawson to become the universally recognized 175lbs champ Froch got a big or IMO as big of a boost as the winner received. Pascal lost clearly to Froch and if Pascal is the man to beat at 175 then Carl must be seen as not only as a top 2-3 168lbs threat but also a top 2-3 lt heavy. Not bad considering he's fought a handful of times above super middle. Aside the Kessler farce, which was clearly home cooking to steal the belt from the champ, no one has come close to upsetting maybe the best euro fighter since Lewis. He's beaten the best at lt heavy, the former undisputed middle champ JT, and every great euro fighter put in front of him. Froch has a claim to be top 10 p4p IMO because to be the man you have to beat the man and at lt heavy only Carl has beaten the man.Comment

dumbass you're the one that brought it up. it doesn't matter WHAT kind of contest it is becuase Froch owns Pascal in any of the contests. He's more popular AND he's a better fighter as he actually owned Pascal in a fight already.Comment

He does have somewhat of a point there. I mean they brought in Allen Green to fill in for JT because Pascal wanted no part of the super six. And dont give me any crap about not being able to fight at 168 because as you pointed out he fought Froch at that weight. Pascal knew he'd get beat by Froch again and maybe Ward if he joined the super middle tourney. Smart move to be honest. It's better to feast on journeymen and the occasional solid pro than face the elite like Carl and Ward.Comment

Excellent point. He called out the semi-retired Hopkins too. I'm glad the brave lt heavy champ stopped short of calling out Archie Moore. No mention of Froch though, strange how he forgot about the guy that owned him. You'd think he'd want revenge. Props to Chad for looking to get right back in there to correct the loss.Comment

that's true I completely forgot Pascal must of been taking notes from Dawson. He wants only 45 year olds. He called out Calzaghe and Hopkins LMAO!!! But not the young hungry guy who already owned him easilyExcellent point. He called out the semi-retired Hopkins too. I'm glad the brave lt heavy champ stopped short of calling out Archie Moore.

Look at pascals body.... pure muscle.. it must KILL him to make 168. dont be dumbHe does have somewhat of a point there.

he weighed barely under 175 for dawson and came in at 187.
there's no way a guy with THAT body (literally no body fat) can shed another 6lbs and be 100%Comment
