    Why do you make Pascal's name so hard to spell? Paschall? What the hell man? He's French Canadian/Haitian not Bulgarian.

    Don't hold your breath; you're not going to get an answer. There's no answer to give. But...Froch doesn't have to have an iron chin and one-punch KO power to be dangerous. A very good chin and a very good punch would take him a long way! Look at Lacy, for example.:good

    Froch is a legend in his own mind!

    Kessler's fundamentals are just to good for Froch to hang with. Kessler takes it by a late TKO or wide UD.

    Taylor is WAY to fast for Froch. JT would blister him with combinations. Froch would find it hard to land much of anything. Taylor wins by clear UD.

    Pavlik would check that untested chin repeatedly. I think this match-up would produce some decent fireworks, but ultimately Froch's low left hand, and sloppy defense gets him knocked the **** out in highlight reel fashion.

    I'd love to see Froch/Bika, or Froch/Andrade. Froch/Miranda or Froch/Zuniga would also be good fights. That's is the level of opponent Froch should be looking at. If he beat a couple of these guys, he might actually get a fight with one of the top guys. So far he hasn't done anything to prove he belongs in the ring with the guys he keeps yapping about.

    That's funny. A few months ago, I thought Pascal as talking too much, because he said after the Berrio fight he would have knocked him way before Bute did. I was pissed at him. And now, I pray him to win against Froch, who talks ****. If Froch wins, at least he will have a top 30 opponent on his resume. It's about time.

    Froch is good, but I think Pascal will surprise a lot of people.

    Let's hope so, mate! Even if Froch wins, it's better if he beats a Pascal that has performed really well than just another guy who wasn't ready and who turned to not be that good after all..., because then, at least the belt will mean something.:good

    lacy i wouldnt call proven, he hasnt really beaten anyone of notice, but compared to froch, i guess we could call lacy proven:lol:

    and besides that, when lacy stepped up, his ko ratio decreased faster then a speeding bullet, which by the way "proves" my point, that frochs claim to fame, when it comes to chin and power, is actually unsubstantiated, especially when it comes to high class opposition..

    his highest ranked opponent, wasnt that tastevoyian or whatever his weird name is.. washe even ranked top 30.?

    i recall bute and froch figthing him around the same time, since then bute has defeated berrio, bika and andrade, and what has froch done.. besides talking that is:lol:

    i have never heard of any fighter, been given so much hype, based on so little credentials..

    I don't think Tatevosyan was Top 30, but I wouldn't be surprised if the sanctioning bodies had him Top 15...but even if he was...he wasn't top 20+ or anything...so it didn't mean much. He was just a C+ fighter at best, no more, and the fight was stopped early against Froch, Tatevosyan having taken a beating for 12 rounds against Bute less than 8 weeks earlier. Tatevosyan came to lose, but not to get stopped like that...guess who the ref was!;)

    Lacy was proven - as a world class fighter!:good

    They're generally despised and hated, unless they're really, really good and entertaining, like Naz, for example.:good
