    Pascal vs Hopkins is a no win situation for Pascal

    If he wins Bhop was "shot" if he loses he is "ruined"

    I think he can win using movement & speed but if Bhop is able to grapple him & wear him down with low blows then we know how that will turn out.

    Have to agree with this. Don't know why he doesn't just go after a younger LHW and get more credit - Cloud perhaps?

      I agree. B-hop is not worth fighting.

        In Burner's thread (which I can't post in) some dude said "Pascal doesn't have the handspeed of a prime Jermain Taylor." Am I missing something?

        And I agree, no win for Pascal and an incredibly tough fight to boot.

          this fight doesn't make sense if hopkins isn't willing to fight dawson if he beats pascal.

            Although hard to resist I tend to not read burners threads too often so didnt notice that statement but to me Pascal seems faster than prime Taylor.

              If he loses he's 45 years old, not ruined.

                Hopkins is a great name to have on you resume however.

                I think Pascal is better off either getting a rematch with Dawson or fighting Cloud. If it wasn't for the super six he could have taken revenge against Froch.

                  not worth the risk reward for pascal, agreed.

                  pascal can obviously be timed. bhop could do that, but I don't know if he has the power to hurt pascal

                    It would be the same fight as last time, Pascal will lose, he has no chin, gets tired in the later rounds, Froch would KO him IMO! As far as B-Hop it is a bad fight he has nothing to gain but everything to lose an he will lose, i'm not goin against B-hop cause he continues to prove ppl wrong, B-hop will out point Pascal, Im taken ring experiance over youth if this fight happens
