Hopkins still has the technical skills to outbox a Jean Pascal, the question is whether his body can perform. This will answer some questions about Pascal as well, all he truly needs to do is go out there and pressure the older man consistently for 12 rounds, something he hasn't necessarily been able to do in the past.

At this stage, all the odds seem to be against Hopkins, fighting against the younger, stronger man in his hometown, but you can't ever count him out. Pascal is definitely beatable. I see these fights going much the way the Hopkins-Taylor series went, perhaps a more decisive win for Pascal. I'd be surprised if Hopkins gets completely dominated though, he just has that much more craft than most young boxers around today. Then again he is bound to lose it some day, let's hope he retires before then.
