I got Pascal 2 since he beat Dawson and he beat Diaconu 2 times and once with 1 arm better then Dawson with his 2 arms!
Pascal fades in the middle rounds and come back ok in the last couple of rounds, just check Froch/P, Hopkins/P and youll see.
Stamina yes , Heart ???? GTFO he dislocated his shoulder 3 times agains't Diaconu and his corner were putting it back in place between the rounds and you call this a lack of heart? i hope you didn't know this fact because you make no sense!
Since he lost t Hopkins I can understand he drops in the rating, but at the same time, he won pretty good against Dawson and why do you put Cloud before him?
He probably didnt know, because since that fight I have a ton of respect for Pascal (not that I didnt have respect before the fight, but now it's like respect big time).
I hope he doesn't know , i needed to edit my post 2 times to stay polite. I got tons of respects for him since the war with Froch :bbb
Yeah it was a very good fight. But I was not a hater (I dont hate any boxer), but I wasnt sure about him too much. "He talks to much" and the likes. But after that fight... I know that he is very muscular and it is probably what aid him to keep his shoulder inside (even though it poped 3 times) and gave him the opportunity to finish the fight, but it must have hurt as hell and really, I still dont understand how he did it.
Sorry, Hopkins is harder to fight than those two boxers you named altough I understand your point. Hopkins doing head butts, arm key and hes using his body perfectly when he get closer to push his opponent. Not only punch can hurts an opponent, Pascal said after the fight that no other boxer before make him think so hard. Pascal is maybe hurt between hears. So yes, even though I am Pascal fan, we need to see his next fight to see if he's not damage good. Any of those fight is going to be very hard mentally with Shumenov, Cloud or Erdei...
Dawson-Diaconu in the twelvth round Diaconu showed Dawson hell. But i must admit that i didn't rewatch the fight i'm still on the impression of what i seen live and god only knows how i was drunk :smoke
