i agree, i think bhop, although even slowed down and older, still has the boxing
iq to beat pascal.
pascal will not be able to score points and stay away winning rounds like he
did a green dawson.
bhop is too smart for that.
if pavliks 3 mins of punching per round can be negated with a 12-0 shutout for bhop,
then pascals flurry every 45 seconds can be negated as well
this is a great matchup, bhop has a granite beard and can not be hurt.
pascals conditioning is a concern as well, he seemed gassed many times and early during that fight.

Stamina,B-hop slows down fighters,styles make fights!!Pascal's stamina wasn't great & I don't think he has the mind set of Calzaghe to simply throw until the final bell!!Funny thing though Pascal would easily beat a volume puncher because he knows what to expect!!B-Hops angles & movement coupled with his boxing IQ,is off the charts!!!

Originally posted by jvsnypes View PostI respect Hopkins' accomplishments and reputation, but he is done as a fighter. There is no need for this fight. In his prime, he would have an easy time with Pascal. But at 45,Pascal's speed and flurries will be too much for the aging lion.Its one thing to beat up a slow fisted flat footed Pavlik and another to face a fighter with blazing speed and good movement.It was Pascal's speed that threw Dawson's whole fight plan off.It made Dawson respect him and focus more on defense. Well you could see that Hopkins was intimidated by the speed of an old Roy Jones in their last fight. What could he possibly do with this type of athlete at this stage of his career?

If Hopkins takes this fight with Pascal then he is smart, but also a *****. It's a much more winnable fight for him than someone like Dawson so he would be smart to accept it, but at the same time Dawson has been calling him out for a while he wanted none of it.

Eff Hopkins!!! Chad was calling dude out for years and he avoided him, now that Chad lost to a bum, he wants to fight the bum!? Get the F*^$ outta here! This is boxing treachery!
