    Pascal is one of my favorite fighters. But no, prime Pascal does not maul Beterbiev. Beterbiev is a different breed.

    Lol. Crude caveman Pascal doesn't "toy" with anybody.

    I think Kovalev matches with Beterbiev perfectly,
    Kovalev is a boxer that just happens to have very
    heavy hands. Kovalev is a slow offensive powerhouse
    that gets hit too much. Kovalev will tee off on him
    for however long it lasts. Not sure Kovalev stops him
    as Beterbiev is built like a tank, but he wins a lopsided fight.

    And yes I'm aware of the amateur history before
    anyone brings it up.

    I think the biggest danger for Kovalev is still Adonis.
    Quick feet, atomic left hand. Adonis is a two trick pony
    but those two tricks are phenomenal.

    There's about a minute of sparring video between them on youtube and every time Beterbiev hits Pascal he backs up 3 steps.

    I like Beterbiev but I'm not sold.

    Totally agree. He is lethal to all at 175 with the straight left. I don't think anyone takes that shot without it having a serious effect on them no matter who they are. On his own for 1 shot power at light heavy

    I know people don't like him for one reason or another, but it
    is what it is. That left hand is heavy and powerful, whether it lands clean
    or not.
