You have to have some sympathy for Pascal. What would you do in his situation?

Well, if HBO throws up 2 mil, then: Not be a ***** and fight Dawson.

 

Its not that tough a situation really. When you're going to be ****ed for whatever you do, chase the big money.

Say what you want about him as a fighter, but the guy has the heart to get in there with anyone even if he does stop fighting mid-bout.

 

work on improving my style, stamina, and overall boxing game

he got exposed and needs to ****ing work on his holes.

 

Mostly his stamina. How can a 45 year old man be fitter than Pascal.

 

hopkins is a geniusing that.
There is nothingw rong with pascal's heart or ambition, maybe he needs to stop talking in cliches and just speak his mind more often though.
In his place I would face hopkins, he can beat him if he does things right and he needs to get rid of him first otherwise it will be hanging over his rep. Dawson will still be there, if he fights dawson now I think there is a big chance he loses. If he faces hopkins and loses hopkins will not fight dawson, who eventually will want to fight pascal to avenge his loss, if he beats hopkins he cal also face dawson so therefore b-hop next is the best choice.

 

im 23 and hopkins is fitter then me as he is then most other people. the man keeps in shape and even though he is 46 his body and health is that of a man 10 years younger, he takes care of his weight, food, doesnt take things that damage your carreer and is just a healthy man.
Pascal on the other hand definitely needs to work on his stamina, seems to me he is to heavy for his own good.

 

its his style dude; consise and efficient. pascal fights in spurts and wastes tons of energy he uses too much movement and gasses out

 

That's messed up.

Based on what happened against Hopkins and Dawson, he owes Hopkins a rematch more than anything. So that'll be the first thing I'd pursue, and try and plead Dawson to let me have one more fight. I'd find out what exactly is it that he wants - a rematch with me, or the chance to get the title back? Because if it's the title that he wants too, then he's gonna have to let me finish my business with Hopkins.

 

:deal I agree. I think Pascal should go where the bigger money is; he got this far and he'll lose in either rematch, but he's a fun fighter to watch no matter who he fights and Pascal always comes to fight. He's going to give both Dawson and Hopkins hell before he loses to them though.

 

Fight Dawson around late March, then fight Hopkins around July if not earlier.

 

Agreed.

Dawson would need some serious step aside money.

 

if HBO drops 2 mil then fight Dawson. If he wins I thing Hops fights him with or wothout the belt
