    Old man Hopkins was bouncing him off the canvas with his arthritic bones haha.

    I do like Pascal though he's a fun fighter

    Bad balance. Basically Pascal is like Roid Jones without the roids, with really poor balance, and instead of a glass mandible he's got an iron one.

    If he manages to win one of the legit titles i will relent and say let him in!!!

    He should maybe go after vodka kovalev and get a revenge win, that might tip the odds

    He'd KO this shell of Kovalev for sure. He would paddle Clenelo's ass too.

    114-113 Pascal 114-113 canelo 118-110 canelo

    Would be quite funny seeing roles reversed in Pascal v kov

    No. The Hall of Fame is for famous people, whether or not they succeed in their field. Succeeding does help, but is not an automatic pass to enter the HoF. Pascal is not famous. His name doesn't resonate outside of the sport either. Butterbean has more chance to join the HoF than Pascal.

    :lol: Yeah he would have to KO Clenelo to get a draw

    He called out the ginger toad and then someone dropped their belt and ran back down to 160-168

    i might be losing touch with how famous pascal is living in canada. he's extremly famous in quebec like just as much as an actor or pop star or hockey player. enough to fight in front of 20k people majoirty of his career.

    He is famous locally, but this topic is about the International Boxing Hall of Fame. And locally, the Hilton brothers are more famous than Jean Pascal. I think Eric Lucas is still remembered more vehemently. In my opinion Jean Pascal is as famous as Lucian Bute, surely not enough to enter the IBHOF.

    If John Conteh isn't even in the hall of fame (he should be), Pascal should definitely not get in. Really solid fighter for a long time, a true warrior, but not on the level that warrants induction.

    If Gatti’s in the IBHOF, Pascal merits serious consideration.
