You would got for Taylor just to make Pavlik look good. Pavlik vs Pascal at 175 what do you think about that?
If anything, he is being overrated, primarily by Froch fans. And nobody has ever beat Taylor "easy" before; the chances that Pascal would be the first to do so are slim.
Jean Pascal is brilliant fighter & seems to be a better fighter after the defeat to Froch, for which Carl must be given BIG respect for securing such a victory! However, at LHW, Pascal has said he's a different fighter to that of the man who fought at 168lbs! Jean says he struggled quite a bit to make 168lbs but he did not try to make excuses about his loss to Froch, saying that Carl was the better on the night! At 175lbs I reckon Pascal has a great chance of avenging that loss, but I cna't see Froch moving up to LHW. Froch appears to make 168lbs quite comfortably! I'd like to see Dawson-Pascal! Jean will not move back to SMW - he's made that clear! He looks very strong at LHW & I think he's the danger-man in the division!
For that reason this is pretty much a fantasy fight since Taylor was quoted prior to either Froch or Lacy that he would probably never move up to 175 as he is simply not that big. JT came in at 166 for the Froch fight and even looked a bit soft in doing so. Unless he really hit the weights, I'm not sure he could fill out to a fit 175 and even then I doubt it would be to his advantage.
Fochettes: Froch beat Pascal who beat Diaconu. So, Pascal and Diaconu are GREAT fighters. Which means Froch is? GOAT!
