Canelo vs Jean Pascal ? 37y/o Pascal may look so appealing for Canelo!
First I think Jack edged the fight b/c he was the more consistent fighter but it is what it is. Now let's be fair what other opponent is worthy for Canelo than a 37 y/o high profile fighter with a belt like Pascal ? This would be the right type of opponent at the right moment for Canelo @ 175 lbs!

Pascal is still Kovalev's leftovers. It would not be appreciated by fans if Canelo fights him after stopping Kovalev.
Re: Canelo vs Jean Pascal ? 37y/o Pascal may look so appealing for Canelo!
Yeah I would've thought either Pascal or Badou Jack would've been right up his alley. Whoever won, because I'd make Canelo the heavy favorite over either.

It won't matter. Canelo also fought chiny washed up Khan, washed up JCCJr, Smith , Rocky Fielding and guess what ? People bought those fights! Canelo vs Pacal fight would sell big time imo!boxing_rocks wrote: ↑30 Dec 2019, 12:50 Pascal is still Kovalev's leftovers.

Btw Canelo fought Jacobs who was GGG's leftover.

Jacobs wasn't stopped by GGG. It was a narrow loss, so Canelo had an opportunity to claim that Jacobs beat GGG.apollo creed wrote: ↑30 Dec 2019, 13:33It won't matter.

Every fight Canelo has from now on is all going to be about big money. I don’t think Pascal represents that at this point.

UD win for G and Jacobs is GGG's leftover. Another exemple could be Canelo-Trout-Cotto.boxing_rocks wrote: ↑30 Dec 2019, 13:48Jacobs wasn't stopped by GGG. It was a narrow loss, so Canelo had an opportunity to claim that Jacobs beat GGG.apollo creed wrote: ↑30 Dec 2019, 13:33

So do you think that BJS, Callum Smith, Andrade or even GGG III fights would be bigger money events than Canelo vs Jean Pascal @ 175 lbs? lol

First of all Canelo isn’t likely staying at 175 so the question is kind of moot. And I Definitely think GGG III and Callum smith and possibly those other ones would be more lucrative at this point.apollo creed wrote: ↑30 Dec 2019, 15:30drunkenpiper36 wrote: ↑30 Dec 2019, 14:03 Every fight Canelo has from now on is all going to be about big money.

Canelo already captured a more superior world title at 175lbs (as well as vacated it) and the Mexican has just KO’d the fighter that stopped Pascal with ease TWICE?

Jean got some steam back, making these punks fail dee test, but I mean it's still not an interesting fight

Pascal is a very lucrative fight for Canelo atm. It doesn't matter if Pascal got beat by Kovalev. Also styles make fights and Canelo vs Pascal would be a very good action-packed fight.

JP is the right 'cherry' with a good profile for Canelo. Just like old washed up Kovalev was. Only that I think Pascal would give a fight to Canelo.margaret thatcher wrote: ↑30 Dec 2019, 16:48I mean, the way you tout Pascal by saying you thought he lost and that he's 37 really has me excitedapollo creed wrote: ↑30 Dec 2019, 16:47

I don't think Canelo is in rush to take risky fights like Beterbiev or even Bivol next.

That would be a far worse cherrypick than picking Pascal, considering Callum's last performance against John Ryder.

I think he’d get a bit more criticism for taking on a 37 year old man who’s been beaten 6 times, has minimal power and indecisively won his last fight ;)apollo creed wrote: ↑30 Dec 2019, 17:04That would be a far worse cherrypick than picking Pascal, considering Callum's last performance against John Ryder.

And why wouldn’t the commercial demand to see any potential bout between Canelo and Pascal not be adversely affected by Jean’s two one-sided stoppage defeats to Sergey Kovalev?
Don’t just make bold claims, provide some sort of explanation to justify the reason why you personally believe them to be true!

Re: Canelo vs Jean Pascal ? 37y/o Pascal may look so appealing for Canelo!
Pascal is a real veteran warrior and a big name. At 37 y/o Pascal would beat the poo out of Callum. You can't compare the opponents that Pascal has been facing in his career with the former opponents of Callum Smith. Ryder beat Callum. Enough said.drunkenpiper36 wrote: ↑30 Dec 2019, 17:06I think he’d get a bit more criticism for taking on a 37 year old man who’s been beaten 6 times, has minimal power and indecisively won his last fight ;)apollo creed wrote: ↑30 Dec 2019, 17:04

Pascal needs some rest after this fight. Looked pretty beaten up.
