    I can appreciate both his style and the slicker variety, the only thing that I don't like in his fights are the low punches which could possibly get him into trouble in the AA fight.

    His plan to go low on AA might backfire if his body punches stray below the belt.

Froch was just better than him. On top of this, Pascal looks slower at LHW, and looks unnaturally big like he has put on too much mass. To be honest, I believe Froch would suit LHW better than Pascal. He has the frame for it and could easily add more mass without looking blown up. Thus I think Froch beats Pascal at whatever weight they choose to fight at. It might be a closer matchup but no way does Pascal beat Froch 10-2. That's a crazy and ignorant statement.

      I think Pascal has matured as a fighter and has been steadily improving. Froch is what you get. He is in his prime and always comes to fight. I think Pascal might take a rematch as he seems to fight smarter now, but it would still be a tough competitive fight. Froch does get overlooked, just as Pascal does. That is a shame because both of them would take on anybody. It is just the way they are.

        I think Pascal UD's him now. Pascal has started moving in his last three fights, and I like his defense, and shot selection more than froches. The thing I dislike about froch is his telegraphed right uppercut from the other side of the ring.

          Carl Froch's opposition lately, are pretty much the best resume out there at the moment.

            Ive been boxing for 30 years, i have trained with many pros... watch the fight with Dawson and right after watch the fight with Froch, Pascal is even faster and much stronger, BTW calm down son... i even said that i respected Froch in my post..

              Seeing that he lost his last two fights, and would have lost three in a row had Taylor not been stubborn and took a knee I don't know. Evryone in the supersix has been fighting good fighters, why not give credit to Ward, Direll, and Abraham?
              Ward deserves credit for stepping up in opposition as well as he has, but his reluctance to fight outside of his hometown isn't a noble action.

              Direll was involved in a close fight with Froch, however he ran for 12 rounds. Not moved....ran. I was there and almost fell asleep. The place got stunk out. However he handled Abraham easily and that deserves a lot of credit.

              Abraham beat Taylor which was a good win, but then followed it up with his disgraceful actions in the Dirrell fight. He needs to redeem himself against Froch.

                If froch was a bit faster, nobody would want to fight him. He gets so strong as a fight goes on. His lack of speed is his Achilles heel. He and Abraham, who both finish strong late in a fight, is going to be very interesting.

                  Froch will always get respect from me, he's always willing to fight the best win/lose. Froch takes high risk fights which other boxers are not willing to do today, infact these guys are far more skilled then The Cobra himself. Froch deserves props for not ducking, and he is always willing to put on a war.

                    Direll ran for quite a bit, but he still dominated so many rounds. There were rounds where he wa slanding 10 to ever 1 froch landed if not more. Froch did not land more than 50 punches that whole fight, no way no how did he win.

                    Also I was betting on Froch, and wanted him to win. Ask Starjammer, I even gave him his points back as well as with the others I bet.

                      I agree and not only that, but he's better than what people give him credit for.

                      I keep repeating that he will beat Abraham and why he will, but they don't listen. They will later say AA was overrated or some ****.
