Pascal would be a liver dog than many expect him to be - he's aged pretty gracefully and thus I wouldn't be surprised if he won. But you've got to favor Smith Jr. here
This is one of the only (perhaps the only) time you'll ever see me pick Joe Smith in a h2h hypothetical
Joe would beat him like a scab worker crossing the picket line. Nah I actually think both would put on a good show but Joe's relentlessness would eventually get to the old man.
I hope this never happens. there's stuff Smith does wrong that pascal could catch but more clever angles but if the fight goes past 5 Joe smith would beat the **** out of Pascal and I dont want to see it. Joe Smith should have the vacant WBO already, I dont know how far smith jr goes but he's 30 and he beat 3 people in his career that were rated in the top 5 at LHW that's already crazy to think of..
While Pascal has shown resilence, he is on the decline while Smith is ascending. I'll take Smith ktfo Pascal.
