I really hope it's not but hey, Pascal could always become a poker player. You smack him in the face and his expression is like a guy reading the Sunday paper, he would own all poker players;D

I don't really see anything rich about this..Froch isn't a guy who is about to alter his "style" or make any adjustments for one specific fighter, he pretty well is what he is, he never seems intent on actually executing a game plan.

To say he fought a great fight is pretty well just acknowledging he did the best he could have.

Pascal on the other hand has a lot more natural talent and athletecism, much better punching technique, and had no experience against even good fighters before going to war with Froch. You can point to a lot of things he could do better in a rematch, which isn't remotely the case with Froch. I can't imagine Pascal wouldn't be the favourite if the two were going to do it again.

I'll grant you there is probably some hate for Froch, really wouldn't know myself, but the fact is he lost his last fight, and looked incredibly pedestrian. Had the decision gone the right way even his most ardent supporters would probably accept his shortcomings more easily, I think that's a bit rich myself.
