Nowhere. Jean would have to follow that win up to solidify that it wasn't just one great night. Very rarely will I consider a non (not close) p4p in my top ten because of 1 win, ECSPECIALLY if the guy (Pascal in this case) follows his win over a p4p with a loss to someone who isn't p4p.
The only way I can even see him winning is by knockout. Which is usually convincing...but, anyway, I like J Griz's answer.
you don't think pascal cracks the top 10 by beating a great fighter like dawson? is dawson a top 5 p4p fighter because he beat adamek or is it because he has followed it up with wins over top class fighters like johnson and tarver?
i will still remember carl froch outboxing him though and that makes it had to rank him pound for pound
He'd probably jump in the 10-15 range, around where Ward and Bute are. It would mean I'm overrating the hell out of Dawson though, and that Pascal has improved a ton since his last few fights.
He has to win it veeeeeeeery convincingly, making Dawson look stupid and giving the impression he could KO him anytime he wants But hey, enough fantasy let's talk reality, if he beats him he has to fight B-hop and/or Cloud to establish himself as the true LHW ruler, then we can talk p4p... You wanna be P4P the best, you have to become the division's best first
B Hop ain't fighting a young, hungry fighter that's his own size. He hasn't done it since losing to Taylor, and he's not about to start now. Besides, he looked like complete horse**** against Jones, after looking less than impressive against Ornelas. NOTHING has to go through Hopkins at this point.
:huh If a journeyman with the help of god beat Mayweather in the ring, is he a P4P....:think I don't think it works that way, even if Pascal knock Dawson in rnd 1, he's still far from P4P status. Anyway I think he will make Dawson lool like Mayweather and will be at the wrong end of a very wide UD, hope I'm wrong cuz I will be there cheering for Pascal to kick Dawson ass.
True true, B-hop ain't the same anymore but he is still regarded as a LHW threat. I give him the benefit of the doubt, because after the Calzaghe fight, people said he turned old, and said he would be KO'd by Pavlik. He schooled Pavlik, restored his credibility and 'turned old' again VS Jones. I'm not holding my hopes high but B-hop always had a strange relationship with time, just like a normal relationship with a lot of ups and downs... when his ability is being doubted he tends to confuse us again with an odd performance
And since there's a rematch clause in the contract, maybe if he wins twice against Dawson he can be rank in the top 10 p4p.
Hopefully, for this match, Chad will box Pascal's ears off before he tko's him. Making a remtatch unappealing.
Well Ward and Dirrell jumped very high after just 1 good win each, so presume same will happen for Pascal. If anything a win over dawson is better than a win over AA and kessler so he should be rated higher than both ward/dirrell.
