That would be a good fight, Pascal does have a good chin. He lasted 12 rounds vs Froch so he is no Chicken Egg. A kovalev-Pascal fight would make sense as he would be the next opponent to Superman.
If Kovalev has a chin, Kovalev by decision. He would be too active for a guy like Pascal who fights in spurts.
Sillahk is probably as fast or faster than Pascal in terms of handspeed, but his chin was butter soft.
There are quite a few people on here who don't have the background knowledge to even make an educated pick. They just go with the hot name.
Yes. It would help set the stage for the eventual Kovalev-Stevenson fight (they could sell the idea that Stevenson would be trying to avenge his countryman). I see Pascal just moved up the new Ring rankings to #3 light heavyweight.
I just can't imagine Pascal holding up for very long in this one. Kovalev will not be shy like Bute was...
