    Pascal has been shot for a long time now. I'd say post Bute he's been on a big decline. Although he has a lot of flaws, the guy has fought some of the best opponents in recent times.
    Kovalev 2x
    Bivol
    Alvarez
    Bute
    Froch
    Hopkins 2x
    Dawson
    I hope he retires now because he's too tough for his own good. He had a very respectable career, and was one of my favorite fighters of the past era.

    The Pascal that fought Bute would have been beaten even worse by Kovalev.

    He looked uncomfortable throughout the whole Bivol fight. Like in pain. Felt bad for him.

    He had a Glen Johnson type of career. Fought all the best, won some, lost most, but was always entertaining.

    He's bound to have earned a few quid, time to hang them up.

    I Like how he suddenly became shot when he signed up to face Kovalev.

    So, you think Pascal got slightly better with time. as the bute match was way before the Kovalev match

    Never liked him, I can't lie and pretend I have.

    I wish him no ill will and he deserves respect and credit for the opponents he has fought over the years.

    But the only times I've enjoyed watching him is when he got beaten up.

    Did he stop improving cos he lost to Kovalev?! You're so obvious....

    It's not that he suddenly got shot post Bute, it's that post Bute he began fighting the likes of Kovalev, Bivol & Alvarez! Who are all ultimately just better than him in terms of skill.. & all in turn chipped away at him. I suggest it's them that made him 'shot' if he is... It's not like he was some prime beast who they all got way past his best cos even you admitted he was the best you'd seen going into the Kovalev fight & then contradicted yourself AGAIN today because you're probably feeling a bit threatened again :lol:

    What are u saying now? That he peaked at Bute & suddenly faded?!l lmao

    I do agree he's been a good fighter & all respect to him but you're an absolute cuck! Stop trying to demean a fighters victories all the time..

    Very good boxer and true champion.

    Carl Froch
    Chad Dawson
    Bernard Hopkins 2x
    Lucian Bute
    Sergey Kovalev 2x
    Eleider Alvarez
    Dimitry Bivol

    Absolutely everyone is there, even guys who have clearly pierced after his prime. Only Stevenson misses the call but knowing him it is almost certain that it is more of his fault than that of Jean Pascal. The only dark spot is the revenge against Kovalev, very disappointing in my opinion.
