How do you think a Prime Jean Pascal would do in modern day LHW?

    Jean Pascal always seemed kind of a bummy fighter to me that only got the ring magazine title due to LHW being pretty poor, with his sloppy wide hooks and swinging from the hip he never really impressed me and you'd think he has Kovalev type power but in actuality his power is average to slightly above.

    If he was in his prime modern day, how do you think he would do? IMO i think he loses to Bivol and Beterbiev, gets outboxed by Bivol and stopped by Beterbiev. I think he can outwork Joe Smith and eat most of his shots. i think he'd be the weakest champion and instead of Joe Smith getting sent to be slaughtered by Beterbiev in a few months, it'd be Pascal.

    Current light heavy division isnt much better than his era so he would do good.

    Pascal is a world level fighter but lacked a bit of power and size at lhw.

    Joe Smith Jr vs Jean Pascal would have been a good fight.
