PAC’s greatest win is against Brandon Rios, Broner and Mathysse - ALL COMING OFF LOSSES AND BONAFIDE BUMS!!!

Lost a hundred dollars betting on that first fight. Last time I gambled on boxing.

I remember the presser of Hopkins losing his head. When Pascal was telling him to "Take the test" B-hop was acting like someone who couldn't handle the mental aspect of the game, but he didn't let that affected him in the ring come fight night, and that the different with boxers like Hopkins.

I hope that Pascal does not end up being underrated historically because he has had a hell of a career and is still going strong even though I wrongly wrote him off a few years ago.

Hopkins over Pascal was more impressive. Pascal was an active fighter, reigning, unified, lineal champion 18 years younger than Bhop - and he got schooled and outworked. Thurman was more than a decade younger than Pac, but the impact of his inactivity going into that fight cannot be overstated.
