I think he as a good chin maybe not like Glen Jonhson but still a good chin. I would be very surprise if Dawson put Pascal down!
I haven't seen the Froch fight but watched those two: http://www.youtube.com/v/7kqlRy9AD50 http://www.youtube.com/v/cjsYpcAxRlk After those two fights, I was left with the impression Jean was an accident waiting to happen. Needless to say I was surprised when he went 12 rounds with Froch. I guess I'll be fixed about his chin come August 14th.
I understand how you could think that. But what most people don't realize is that Pascal was not in his best condition at that time. He fought 3 or 4 times in about 6 month, with a shoulder injury! Not to mention the fact that making 168 was increasingly difficult for him. After that, Pascal knew he was criticized for bragging to much without any real performance to back it up ... I think that's why didn't fight smart against Froch, but went for a war to earn some respect. But from there on, he took some hard leather form Froch and moved up to 175 where the powerful blows of Diaconu (not exactly feather-fisted) did not seem to cause real damage (except maybe once in their first fight). Pascal's not Johnson or Andrade, but yeah, I think he has a pretty solid chin.
