    It's a legitimate thread, given that Pavlik is now the linear champion. A bit like "Jermain Taylor vs. Hagler" or "Rocky Graziano vs. Hagler".

    This would end in roughly the same way as a fight against Graziano would--short and nasty, with Hagler walking through Pavlik's punches and forcing him to trade to his disadvantage.

    Hagler by KO within the first five rounds.

    i suppose but it's still too early really to be comparing him to guys of haglers class. we've already had pavlik paired with a smw monster in benn earlier. i'm always curious of the thread starters motives when threads like this pop up in the general forum.

    Yeah, I don't see why people aren't taking this seriously. Pavlik looks awkward, but has a good chin and can crack. Put that with his work output, and he is a tough fight for almost any other linear title holder. Outside of stylistic difficulties, he should ao rlgith any top middleweights, even if he does lose.

    I think Hagler beats him though. He is too good, but it'd be a great fight. Hagler TKO 6.

    :smoke Do you really beleive that ? HAGLER couldnt put much lesser fighters away ! And dont compare PAV to HEARNS ! HEARNS could not take a great shot and PAV is the much sturdier guy !

    True, but even a fighter like Mugabi (who was also a huge, limited puncher) was viewed as a legitimate opponent for Hagler. While it's highly unlikely that Pavlik would beat the Marvelous One, he certainly has the ability to give him some trouble.

    Hagler KO 4-5.

    Erm I wonder why people aren't taking this seriously? It couldn't be because we are comparing a guy that has beaten one genuine world class opponent to one of the all time greats could it?

    I mean for ****s sake :roll:
