Will Pascal get any credit if he beats Hopkins?

What do you think?
Im not so sure. Some people didnt even give him credit for the Dawson win.

I can hear it now "Hopkins was just too old."

Honestly this is the only reason he would win. Hopkins will be 46 on Jan 15th for crying out loud.

I don't know - why don't we wait and see how Hopkins looks in the actual fight before we decide?

He wouldn't get full credit, because Hopkins isn't what he used to be, but it'd still be a very good win.

Aside from Cloud, Hopkins was the best possible opponent out there.

I'll give him credit. Hopkins isn't an easy opponent by any means if he is on the decline. Hopkins will try to discourage Pascal into fighting his fight, he's a spoiler even if he is that old.

because this is NSB, inane threads about boxing etc etc.

I dont care if Hopkins is 72 years old, if you beat Hopkins you need to get credit for it. Im not a huge fan of his but you have to respect what he has accomplished over his career and especially for what hes done after the age of 40. Again, dont get this twisted, im by no means a huge Hopkins fan, just a boxing fan who respects his 20 something defenses of the middleweight title.

**** Hopkins. **** Pascal. War Dawson.
