    Say he replaced Jermain Taylor.

    Opponents:

    Abraham
    Ward
    Dirrell
    Froch rematch
    Kessler

    To me Pascal is a much more natural 168lb fighter. He looked much smaller than Hopkins in their fights.

    I get the feeling most wont give him a chance against these fighters but would still be interested in peoples opinion

    He lost to Froch but both fighters have gotten better. I dont think he would have won the tournament.
    Him against Abraham would be amazing.

    He would've done better than Green or AA! That's for dam sure! But at the end of the day, Froch would kick his ass again! And Ward would out point this foreign boy all night long! At home or away! It wouldn't matter!

    He was smaller than Hopkins in height. But he was MUCH stronger than BHOP. Hopkins normally likes to clinch and work dirty on the inside. Against Pascal he was pushed, shoved and handled like a ragged doll. I think Pascal is the strongest fighter Hopkins has faced. Stronger than Tarver!

    I don't think making 168 lbs would benifit Pascal somewhat iffy stamina.

    I'm from Montreal and it is said that Pascal will fight on HBO (he draws good ratings) against either Shumenov or Cloud in the fall. Pascal vs Cloud will be awesome if Cloud has a good chin.

    Abraham - Multiple knockdowns from both, someone getting KO'd

    Froch - I think Froch would beat him again, especially if he thought him like he did Abraham

    Dirrell - Runs rings around him, either Dirrell on points, or Pascal catches him & Dirrell gets KTFO.

    Ward - Ward would win, he is too polished for Pascal.

    Kessler - Would be a great match, not sure, Kessler could be stopped.

    Wasn't Pascal struggling to make 168?

    If Pascal could tag Hopkins with some monstrous shot here and there he might land on Ward and put him to sleep. Ward's chin isn't granite like BHOP's.

    But Ward's fight skill is superior to BHOPS everyday of the week!

    Well had he been in, he would have had: Abraham in Germany, Ward in US and Green in US?

    He would have had an exciting, close fight with Abraham, he would win on points.
    He would lose to Ward on points.
    He would end the Green fight early.

    I'd favor him slightly over Dirrell, think it would be 50/50 against the confident Abraham of the Taylor fight, would make him a slight underdog against Kessler and a clear underdog against Froch and Ward.

    Slightly different - But how would he do against Cloud? I've never seen Cloud in action.

    Pascal has much better feet than Cloud (a more stationary puncher), but Cloud is more consistent. Would be a hell of a fight and I hope it happens.

    He has too much power and too much speed for all of them, the only person that gives him problems is Ward.

    I do think he has grown since his 168 days and couldn't make that weight anymore. But you must admit, against Dawson and Hopkins he looks so much smaller. He is much shorter with smaller legs and and about the same upper body size as Hopkins

    he's been way better at 175 than at 168.
