Hmmmmm this Jean Pascal is a bad man.

He won't beat Chad Dawson I'm telling you all right now. No way in hell. Froch's jab turned their fight around what is Bad Chad's southpaw stance, speed, and laser like jab going to do?

 

I like him too , seems like agreat guy aswell

T has a point though, Froch managed to get him under control with the Jab and Dawson has a good jab too , Dunno if its as heavy as frochs but ....

I'll be cheering for Pascal !

 

Pascal an outstanding fighter ive had money on him since the froch fight ... he is a warrior and boxing with the injury over the weekend shows the blokes will to win ...

Would love to see a rematch with Froch one day and Frochs victory shows maybe how good Froch is in that type of battle - hence he will beat Kessler !

But yup Pascal has a fan in me ... good luck to the guy and a fight against Tavoris Cloud in 2010 could as a spectacle be the fight of the Year ....

 

Seems a decent bloke by all accounts, and I bet he was better than we were all expecting against Froch.

That fight was an edge of the seat barn burner, which should have itself lead to a decent TV deal for Froch. Name me a better terrestrial TV fight of the last 10 years!

Good luck Jean Boy!

 

Pascal's going to be avery exciting fighter to watch over the next few years. He's already been in several cracking fights and there's loads out there for him. There's Dawson obviously but also the SMW's will move up and wouldn't be surprised to see him moving up to Cruiser as well.

 

after FrochPascal Froch sparred Pascal 4 the Taylor fight Froch said they had some war`s in sparring Fair play 2 Pascal though his 2 fights against Diaconui have been mega in Canada-I don`t think Cloud or Dawson would fancy going 2 Canada

 

I would give Pascal a chance in either of those fights. I think he can hang with the best around.

 

Dawson would outbox him all night long on his way to a decision. Chad is the real deal. Pascal is good, exciting and seems a top top fella but I dont think he's particularly great at anything.

 

Dawson isn't feather fisted either. He's had 4 UD's in a row over Glen JohnsonX2 and Antonio TarverX2 who have a grand total of 1 KO loss combined in their careers.

You are going to see more power from Dawson against opponents that are susceptible.

 

Pascal has a lot of stong athletic attributes, but, as evidenced against Froch, he isn't tactically astute, against the very best (Dawson, Hopkins) , he will probably lose, that doesn't mean he can't continue to be a good fighter, and have a succesful career though.

 

I met Jean at the Commenwealth games as he was training in my gym at the time (Rotunda) He was a top kid, I liked him, He's a good fighter and I think he's done great but I don't see him beating Dawson but I give him and Cloud as a 50/50 fight.. :good

 

Agreed. He had trouble getting inside of Branco's jab and Froch's jab, how's he going to get inside Dawson's jab? If Pascal could get inside and turn it into a brawl, he'd have a chance. Dawson's worst habit is his reluctance to fire back when the other guy is throwing.

 

The Froch fight won Pascal a lot of fans in the UK, and it's been good to see him continuing to prosper after it. Froch-Pascal too down the line could definitely be a lot of fun.

 

Dawson takes time off though, and Pascal can take that time to put the pressure on.

Why I fancy Pascal is that he has shown he can fight AND box. Dawson hasn't. Tarver and Johnson, whilst decent wins, were the usual wins a new champ gets over the relics of a previous top ten.

Dawson has talent, no doubt; I just don't see him as the de facto no.1 at 175lbs at the moment; bar Hopkins, it's wide open IMO :good
