    These guys here that like to talk shyt and laugh at predictions have every right to do so. Likewise, I get bragging rights when my statements/predictions turn out to be correct.
    I've never been high on pascal even in his prime...but there's no way to really know who was the better fighter at that particular time. it's no surprise that the fresher fighter has gone on to look better than a guy who appears to be nearing the end of his career since though. overall, I'd call barrera the better fighter, but I also get why a name opponent is usually preferred over a relative unknown.

      More like those were the only guys that took that tiny purse the Ward camp was offering

        It’s understandable why Kovalev chose Pascal. He sells in Canada. Where does Barrera sell?

          nowhere my friend...there was zero demand for that fight. a big part of the reason ward took heat for the barrera fight was cuz barrera was an unknown.
