Wait.. Hopkins is set to fight Jean Pascal?

[Syf]

if this is true he is a fool. He can't keep up with a troublesome, agile Pascal. He's too damn old. This is going to go badly for him.

He's stayed relevant, despite his slowed reactions due to age, due to careful matchmaking in his recent fights, but Pascal is going to beat him.. just too fast for an aged hopkins

Man, are they trying to set Pascal up to be a cash cow or what?

[Spray_resistant]

He could win with ring smarts and by making this an ugly fight, Pascal is just plain regular good but it doesn't go any further than that and its more on the basis of natural ability rather than actual boxing skills.

[Bastian Loc]

Totally agreee....poopkins is toast

[Crazylegs77]

well when all else fails hold and butt and lowblow when the ref aint looking. Guess thats Hopkins plan b..

I think Hopkins will lose and if he is made a fool of guess the logic is well he is now too old. If he wins he gets called amazing..its a risky fight for Pascal cause even if he does win he still doesnt get the credit.

Hopkins is always live,he has boxing skills Pascal does not possess.

Yeah I agree, Pascal doesn't have a whole lot of fundamentals to speak of, but he's too explosive for Hopkins at this point. Hopkins can try to make it an ugly fight on the inside, but if he lets Pascal into his wheelhouse, he's done.

Well Pac and Floyd beat an aging Oscar and it propelled them to superstardom. And people that hadn't even known Calzaghe before were clued on to him by him defeating a fading RJJ.

A W over Bhop is not to be underestimated man... Someone somewhere is trying to set Pascal up big time

[ßringer]

A 45 year old legend still taking on the top dogs in his division.

I can't see how anybody would have a problem with that.

[Rick Grimes]

Pascal UD, but don't count Hopkins out he will catch Pascal coming in.

He cherrypicks though. Its not like he's going after everyone.

He ducked dawson blatantly.

I think B-Hop struggled big time in his last two. Remember he lost to J.Taylor and that was years ago. In his prime he would have stopped Taylor.
