IF Pascal stops Hopkins, How much credit will you give him.......

He will have had a better career than Calzaghe.

 

Alot. Hopkins is old but tough and a defensive master. If he was stopped though, it would be due to age because I would never bet that X gets ko'd. Pascal is too sloppy to ko him. Pascal should be a big win for him unless he's got old. Even the X from the Pavlik fight could out box Pascal.

 

big credit. and i could see it happen. dont think hopkins will be able to take big shots.

 

I dont think he'll take big clean shots

 

About the same credit that Floyd got for beating Mosley

 

Stopping a legendary sneakster like Hopkins will be an achivement if he can do it.

 

All that I can. It's one thing to beat Hopkins, it's another to stop this trickster of a legend.

 

I think this fight is much more offensive than Haye-Harrison.

 

That says more about you than it does the fight.

 

Can't see it, think Hopkins will win.

 

Not really... at least Haye-Harrison will be entertaining for the three rounds it lasts. Hopkins' entertaining spells last for about one fight. Then it's back to clinch and butt.

 

Yeah but the fights not more offensive as you put it.
An old defensive master against the younger, less skilled foe. Would you not be intrigued to see what tactics BHOP deploys to try nullify Pascals attacks?

 

Nah, Hop is more multi-faceted and has aged better IMO. A bit more credit than that, but not much more.

Of course, it all depends on the nature of the win.

 

Pavlik, Trinidad, Winky Wright came up in weight.

Jones Jnr shot to ****.

Calzaghe, Prime Jones and Taylor losses.
