I've seen so little of Pascal that I can't really comment. Froch himself has never really been tested either so it's hard to say how good he is imo. This is what makes this fight intriguing for me.
Depends on If his chin holds, Froch Is a slow plodder who just zombie walks at you but has the chin to take It. The ****er Is deluded enough to think he had a chance against Calzaghe too.
Pascal, good boxer but wont have the power to deter Carl who is also a fine boxer (world champ amateur pedigree). Incidentally, did these two never meet in the ams, does anyone know?
