Hey people, theres a difference between a ABC belt and The belt of 175 (usualy given by the Ring). Pascal indeed defend his WBC belt 3 times, but he did not defend his Champion of 175 title yet, he will in the fight with Hopkins.
Who gives a ****, dude? Guys 45 years old and he's fighting the No. 1 LHW in the world. For whatever reason he chose not to fight Chad Dawson, but now has chosen the man who clearly defeated Chad Dawson. That's nothing to scoff at.
