What if Pascal knocks out Hopkins ?

[Boxer4life]

I would be more shocked than when Jones got KO'd. We had never seen Jones hit very hard because he was so damned hard to hit and he had just had to shed a lot of muscle too and looked the worst he had ever looked in his career in the first fight vs Tarver just a few months prior.

We have seen Hopkins hit a good few times now and we know he has a solid chin. He is fighting at a very comfortable weight for him right now and has not shed any muscle like Jones did. It could be that he gets old at once, he's certainly more than old enough for that time to come, I just don't see it. If anyone gets KO'd in this fight IMO it would be Pascal. Realistically I see Hopkins UD.

Watch jones vs toney again, there is a part where toney turns al the way around and lands a flush wide right hand....and jones shakes it off...he has taken good ones, but tarver was there at the right time, you can easily tell by jones body, and the way he threw punches, he was no longer the same man.

Sorry I know. I should have actually said Jones was very rarely hit very hard. My mistake. I don't actually think Jones was chinny before the HW experiment.

yeah very true the hw ordeal messed the guy up imo, but i think hopkins getting knocked def matches up when roy fell, i still remember seeing it...could not believe it

Well I was shocked but after the first fight with Tarver not that shocked. He looked weak and the weaker you are the more chance of a KO.
